Overview
Fire Rescue Victoria is actually one of the newest State Fire Services in Australia. FRV is an updated service, bringing together the former Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), as well as the full-time firefighting component that was previously part of CFA.
The new organisation was established on 1 July 2020 as part of Victoria’s Fire Services Reforms.
There are 85 FRV fire and rescue stations across the state. Our firefighters operate 47 fire stations in metropolitan Melbourne and 38 regional stations, most of which are co-located with CFA volunteer brigades.
