The Brigade was registered with the Country Fire Brigades' Board on the 8th February 1902. The original station was in High Street beside the Civic Centre and moved to its present location across the road in 1956.
The first fire engine was a manual pump which many of the residents lent a hand to operate. It was replaced by a motorised pump in 1935. Through the late 1940's to the early 1960's the Brigade had a distinguished and very active running team that was extremely successful in competitions and State demonstrations. A number of trophies were won and good times had by all participants.

The Brigade has been on-call 24 hours a day, seven days a week for over 100 years and has met every request for assistance. Brigade members are willing and able to respond to any local, inter-region and interstate fires and incidents when called upon. Nine members were supplied to the Bushfire crisis in NSW, spanning 11 days. The Brigade continues to grow and develop, with members keen to extend their knowledge through a commitment to training and fireman ship. The Brigade has been proud to serve the community over the past 100 years. It is the wish of the present Officers and members that this proud tradition of service will be continued for the next 100 years.

The Terang community came out in force to help celebrate 100 years of the town’s Urban Fire Brigade.
Past and present members from across Australia, Country Fire Authority staff and the Governor of Victoria gathered to join in the celebrations. More than 300 people lined the streets for a torch-light procession featuring volunteer fire brigade units from across the state. They cheered, clapped and whistled their support for all the unsung CFA heroes in the parade, but the largest roar was saved for the local boys - men who had helped their town through its darkest hours and averted many disasters.
The official centenary celebrations were opened by Victorian Governor Mr John Landy, the CFA patron, at a reception in the Terang Civic Centre.

The Governor paid tribute to the CFA as a whole and specifically to the sterling efforts of the Terang branch. "One hundred year's service to the local community is an outstanding effort," he said. In the avenue opposite the fire station a display of CFA trucks and an old timber "Lady Don" horse-drawn hand pump could be seen.
Open day saw a steady flow of people look at the exhibits in the fire station and the avenue, with many people taking time to view a video of the Ash Wednesday bushfires.
The celebrations continued on Saturday night with 175 people attending a centenary dinner at Glenormiston College. Chief executive officer, Mr Bob Seiffert, congratulated the brigade for reaching the milestone of 100 years of service and spoke of the tireless work of the CFA volunteers.
CFA Region Six officer Malcolm Fallon then presented service medals to Terang Urban Fire Brigade members in recognition of their years of service in the community.

Recipients included Neil Paton (12 years), Bob Love (20 years), Mark Cole (20 years), Tony Lock (20 years), Keith Harvey (35 years), Don O'Keeffe (40 years) and the brigade's longest serving member Alex Paton (55 years).
Terang Urban Fire Brigade captain Darren Gee said the Brigade's centenary celebrations were very successful. "I'm thrilled. The weekend surpassed my expectations," he said. The celebrations were wrapped up on Sunday with the launch of the brigade's fundraising appeal for a support vehicle, and the burial of a time capsule to be reopened in 2052.
