Chris and John Male and their team set up on Saturday and are calling on helpers to offer physical assistance to local farmers.
"The need for volunteers is absolutely massive," Chris Male said.
The first priority of BlazeAid will be to roll up the burnt fence, clear the path and help farmer's install new fencing.
"Our absolute priority is stock containment," said Chris.
Volunteers can stay at the Wingham camp located at the showground and fence repair experience isn't necessary.
The team have combat ready trailers and tools as well as safety equipment on hand and helpers aren't required to bring their own tools if they don't have any.
"We just need your help."
Most of the BlazeAid volunteers are retirees, often couples and women are as welcome as men.
As well as offering help on farms, volunteers are also sought to help prepare meals, cook and clean and all the other things necessary to ensure the camp runs smoothly.
Either visit the BlazeAid team at the Wingham Showground or call 0418 745 994 or 0488 414 368 for further information about becoming a volunteer.
Farmers seeking assistance are also encouraged to call the above numbers to register for BlazeAid assistance.
