Out of the Fire: Volunteer Firefighting in Rural and Indigenous Communities - Interview Transcripts

This was achieved by understanding the role of planning in emergency response management, understanding how planners can support volunteer firefighting in these communities, and creating recommendations to help support these communities and their fire services. The methodological approach taken included a literature review, document analysis, and semi-structured interviews, providing the researcher with additional information into the subject topic.

It was determined that by using a collaborative planning framework that urban and regional planners can contribute to areas outside of urban boundaries into a regional context to continue moving forward the public interest of all peoples. Further research into this topic is required to continue exploring this critical topic.
