NSW RFS Firefighter Pocketbook 6.0.2

The NSW Rural Fire Service Firefighters’ Pocketbook serves as a practical reference tool tailored for volunteer firefighters and staff within the NSW RFS.

This guide condenses key concepts into accessible summaries and “rules of thumb,” providing valuable support for operational decision-making as well as a resource for quick consultations during planning and training sessions.

Notably, the application includes online calculators designed for predicting forest and grass fire behavior, along with a positional converter that displays coordinates in latitude/longitude, map grid references, and street directory references. Impressively, these tools remain functional regardless of mobile network availability.

The content is derived from the most recent hard copy of the NSW RFS Pocketbook published in 2010. Furthermore, updates to the application can be seamlessly deployed over the air to ensure that users have access to current information as needed.
