List of Country Fire Authority brigades

The Country Fire Authority(CFA) is the main firefighting service in Outer Metropolitan Melbourne and the rest of the state of Victoria. The CFA is one of the largest firefighting services in the World.[1] This page is a listing of all of the brigades within the CFA.

The state is split up into Regions, Districts then Groups with each division having less brigades in each, however in Metropolitan Melbourne the district is the same as the region. IE: District 13 = Eastern Metropolitan Region and District 13 is the only district within the Region. Same goes for Districts 8 and 14.

There are Five "Regions", Twenty "Districts"[1] and many Groups throughout the state.

The Regions are:


1 OR UFB – Indicates an Urban brigade
2 OR RFB – Indicates a Rural Brigade
3 OR F/B – Indicates a Fire Brigade
4 OR FIB – Indicates a Forestry Industry Brigade
5 OR CGB – Indicates a Coast Guard Brigade
(Integrated) – Indicates a Station with Staff & Volunteers (incomplete list)

Some brigades have duplicate listings as both Urban and Rural brigades. This is technically correct, although the two 'brigades' share the same facilities. The more recent brigades have not been designated as either Urban or Rural, they are simply referred to as Fire brigades.

The Districts and Groups are:
