Making A Difference Together

WHO ARE WE?

Epping Fire Brigade is a 100% volunteer brigade, serving the community for nearly 80 Years - in 2024 we will be celebrating our 80 year anniversary. We attend more than 500 calls for assistance each year including house and factory fires, motor vehicle accidents, grass and scrub fires. We have 40+ members providing an emergency service 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. As our community continues to grow, we need new members who share that passion to give back to the community.

proper training is at the heart of our brigade. a firefighter isn't born they are made.

We make the training sessions challenging and fun! Joining the CFA is about learning but it is also about having a great time doing it.

OUr Standards

Proud of Our High Standards

Epping Fire Brigade attends more than 500 calls for emergency assistance each year. We are proud of the high standards we set and meet for our community. When we arrive at an emergency call our training and high standards position us for success.

Professionalism

In order to uphold our level of professionalism we train weekly on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings to keep our skills finely tuned. We have minimum attendance rates for our members to attend training and call outs to ensure consistent performance at every emergency call out. By sharing the load, we can achieve high performance and commitment while maintaining a work and life balance.

Community

The Epping Community is one of the top three fastest growing suburbs in Australia
As a brigade we attend a number of community events during the year, including seasonal events such our famous Santa Run and the Royal Children’s Hospital Good Friday Appeal.
These community events allow us to build relationships with the community. We also provide education and safety sessions, such as our Brigades in Schools Program for school children and fire safety sessions for the adults in our rapidly growing community.
