The United Fire Brigades’ Association of New Zealand (UFBA) serves and represents the interests of 523 member brigades and rural fire forces throughout the country, comprising more than 11,000 firefighters. Our members consist of volunteer, paid, urban, rural, industrial and defence brigades, with 80% being volunteers. The UFBA is the only national organisation that unites and represents fire brigades of all kinds. We advocate for our members on key topical issues such as the current Fire Services Review and work to represent members' best interests.
