About Fire Rescue Victoria
Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) was established in July 2020 as part of Victoria’s Fire Services Reform, to provide fire safety, fire suppression and fire prevention services and emergency response in the FRV fire district. FRV personnel are highly trained and ready to respond to emergencies such as fires, complex rescues, road crashes, emergency medical calls and hazardous chemical spills, and work closely with agencies within the emergency services sector, particularly the Country Fire Authority (CFA).
