Woronora Brigade
Sutherland District
Region East

Website: http://www.woronorafire.org.au/
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WoronoraBushFireBrigade

Formed 23rd of April 1967. In typical fashion, early meetings of the brigade were held at members’ properties. The brigade moved to its current location in September 1976. The brigade is a water based brigade, operating 3 fire boats and a Land Rover Personnel Carrier capable of towing the vessels to other waterways.
In 2011, major upgrades to the station were completed which include the addition of a 3-berth floating station where the brigade’s fireboats are stored on floating pontoons, and additions to the land section of the station to improve training and welfare areas.

The brigade’s website contains some great photos and information about the running and history of the brigade.
