"We're here to lend a hand," said Chris Male.
BlazeAid helps rural families recover after natural disasters by setting up a camp for volunteers keen to help.
Five or six camps are expected to be set up in the region in coming weeks including at Nabiac, Grafton and Port Macquarie.
The first however is in Wingham.
"We want to let farmers know they're not alone anymore and we're here to offer both physical and emotional support," said Chris.
BlazeAid volunteers will help local families rebuild fences and other structures that have been damaged or destroyed by the recent fires.
They are likely to stay for many months as more than 1000 local properties are thought to have been impacted so far by the fires.
BlazeAid will put a national call out for volunteers on their Facebook page and website.
They will also ask for help via the ABC Radio's All Over Australia show with Ian McNamara on Sunday morning.
"We'll be inundated," said Chris.
"The images on TV have been horrendous and people just want to help. They care about their fellow countryman.
"I expect to have volunteers on farms by Monday."
Call Chris or John on 0418 745 994 if you need assistance from BlazeAid volunteers.
