The Retired Firefighters’ Association of Queensland (RFFAQ) was formed early in 1999 as a non-profit organisation run by Retired Firefighters for Retired Firefighters.

We hope that you find our site interesting and informative. If you are a Retired Firefighter, this is YOUR site! If you are a serving Firefighter, then one day you will be a retired Firefighter. Let’s work together to record and preserve our heritage and history. If you have any suggestions for improvements please feel free to contact us via our email or the committee members.
