CFA

CFA is Victoria’s volunteer fire service, operating across the state to reduce the occurrence and impacts of fire and other emergencies. We are a dedicated and skilled team, performing roles beyond fire suppression; educating and engaging the community, helping residents develop fire plans and responding to other emergencies when they happen.

In over 1200 communities across Victoria, CFA Brigade volunteers are proudly making a difference. Will you join us?

There are many ways you can give us a hand. Fighting fires, educating your community on fire safety or supporting the team from behind the scenes.

With full training and support from your local brigade, you can learn exciting new skills, connect with new people and play a vital role in your community.

How Ritchies’ donations have made a difference 

CFA thanks the local community for supporting CFA brigades through the Ritchies Community Benefit program. Since 1993, CFA brigades have received over $3 million.

Money received helps fund the work of CFA brigades in the local community. This includes equipping brigades with safety equipment, trucks, enhancing brigade facilities, as well as funding community programs and initiatives to prepare the community ahead of the fire season.
