Research CFA

Research Fire Brigade volunteers have been serving and protecting the local community of Research since 1950.

About Us

Research CFA Fire Brigade started in 1950 (with no station, no truck and no gear!) and we’ve come a long way in those 75+ years since then. We are an entirely volunteer-run station, with our members responding 24/7 to a wide range of incidents, such as grass and scrub fires, structure fires, road crashes, alarms, assisting in storm events and deploying across Australia where we are needed most.

How We Help

We provide emergency response, deployment and support for our community

Emergency Response

Our trained volunteers are ready to respond quickly and efficiently to any callout that may occur.

Strike Teams & Deployment

We have the resources and expertise to efficiently deploy assistance to communities in need during and after a natural disaster.

Community Support

Our volunteers love to be a part of community events, as well as running our annual Santa Run.

Can I or Can’t I?

Find out what you can and can’t do during the declared Fire Danger Period, and on days of Total Fire Ban, when fires in the open air are legally restricted.
