ALL FIRED UP 2026
A 50% co-payment grant helping eligible farmers repair, service and improve their private firefighting equipment ahead of bushfire season.
HELPING FARMERS PREPARE FOR BUSHFIRE SEASON
BlazeAid’s 2026 All Fired Up Grant Program helps eligible farmers improve the safety, reliability and effectiveness of their existing private firefighting equipment.
The co-payment grant covers 50% of approved costs for repairs, servicing and upgrades such as pumps, baffled water tanks, hoses, nozzles, UHF equipment, protective clothing and first aid kits. The program supports farmers who are investing in their own fire preparedness and are ready to assist their neighbours and wider community when needed.
In addition to PFFU upgrades, BlazeAid is seeking to expand the All Fired Up Initiative to provide Air/Water fire extinguishers for community members, helping users of country roads, households and small landholders be better prepared this fire season
