The National Rural Fire Authority (Māori: Te mana ahi manaha o te motu) was a firefighting organisation in New Zealand from 1977 to 2017. It was responsible for overseeing the control of wildfires across the country by coordinating the activities of local Rural Fire Authorities. On 1 July 2017, it was merged with the RFAs and the New Zealand Fire Service to form Fire and Emergency New Zealand, who from then on had responsibility of the control of both urban and rural fires.
