Being a CFA Volunteer

CFA is one of the world's largest volunteer emergency service and community safety organisations. CFA is based on community involvement and gains its strength from the commitment of local people.

• 63,000 volunteers
• 1218 brigades
• supported by over 800 paid staff
• providing emergency response and community safety programs throughout Victoria
• looking after all regional and country areas throughout Victoria, including Melbourne's rapidly growing outer urban areas.

Make a contribution to your community and you will make new friends, learn new skills and be part of Victoria's largest volunteer team.

CFA will always need volunteers for its emergency operations roles - fire fighting, road accident and industrial rescues, flood relief and dealing with hazardous chemical spills.

There are also many other ways that Volunteers can make a valuable contribution to the community.

CFA has a growing need for additional volunteers from a range of backgrounds who can help with tasks such as:

• community education programs

• junior members program

So as you can see, CFA welcomes different people with different skills to meet a wide variety of community needs.
