Nerrena Fire Brigade is a volunteer community emergency service and is part of the Country Fire Authority. This page is not monitored 24/7.

Helping protect the lives an properties of our local community. In an emergency phone '000'. Nerrena Fire Brigade was formed on the 14th of November 1955, by local farmers and residents of the area. And has been serving the community of Nerrena ever since. The brigade is a small volunteer organization which relies on locals to volunteer to help their community in times of need. Like other brigades, Nerrena CFA volunteers respond to bush fire and structural fire emergencies within the Nerrena area and across the South Gippsland area. We join fuel reduction burns across the region and train with many other brigades in South Gippsland. We also provide assistance in motor vehicle accidents and rescues and we work with other emergency agencies like the SES to respond to storm and flood clean-up. Nerrena brigade is looking for new members to join us and help with a range of activities, not just firefighting and emergency call-outs. CFA provides accredited training and support and locals joining up can learn new skills, meet their Neighbour's and have the opportunity to give something back to the community

Anyone 18 years and over is eligible to join regardless of gender, age or background. CFA also has a junior program for kids between 12 and 17 years of age, in which kids can learn Basic skills and fire knowledge.
