Fire Services Act 1990

This section applies if—

an unregistered vehicle (the vehicle) is being used on a road—

by a rural fire brigade or a fire service officer assigned to RFSQ—

for carrying persons or equipment for the purpose of preventing, controlling or extinguishing a fire; or

for the purpose of training relating to fire fighting or fire prevention; or

for another purpose authorised in writing by the commissioner; or

by a person, and for a purpose, prescribed by regulation for this subparagraph; and

the vehicle is clearly identified as a vehicle of a rural fire brigade; and

an insurance policy of the kind mentioned in the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994, section 23(1) is in force for the vehicle.

A regulation under subsection (1)(a)(ii) may specify the types of unregistered vehicles that the person may use on the road for a prescribed purpose.

The provisions of the Transport Operations (Road Use Management) Act 1995 that prohibit the use on a road of an unregistered vehicle, unless the use is authorised by a permit under that Act, do not apply in relation to the vehicle.
