This week CFA marks 80 years as an organisation, protecting and serving Victorians through the commitment and dedication of volunteers over the decades. CFA celebrations it’s 80th birthday today, on April 2.
The Volunteer Brigade movement has been around in Victoria for greater than 170 years. CFA was created following the findings of the 1939 Black Friday disaster, but our rich history mirrors that of the state, with the earliest brigades emerging on the Goldfields in the 1850s.
This milestone encompasses an immeasurable legacy of sacrifice, commitment and stories which go to the heart of the Australian psyche; exemplifying mateship and the principle of being there for others in their time of need.
This week, take a moment to thank CFA volunteers for their service by visiting cfa.vic.gov.au and leaving your thoughts.
