List of Country Fire Authority brigades
The Country Fire Authority (CFA) is the main firefighting service in Outer Metropolitan Melbourne and the rest of the state of Victoria. The CFA is one of the largest firefighting services in the World. This page is a listing of all of the brigades within the CFA. The CFA now works with Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) and Forest Fire Management Victoria (FFMV) to provide fire suppression for both Urban and Rural fires. The old integrated CFA Volunteer and Paid CFA firefighters brigades are now separated into CFA and FRV appliances and crews. The new  CFA Ballarat City brigade now has a single CFA appliance. The other Ballarat City appliances are now attached to FRV Brigade 67. The state is split up into Regions, Districts then Groups with each division having less brigades in each, however in Metropolitan Melbourne the district is the same as the region.

The more recent brigades have not been designated as either Urban or Rural, they are simply referred to as Fire brigades." The Districts and Groups are:
