Honour Roll

Honor Roll

This roll of honour commemorates all CFA firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty since the formation of the CFA.

CFA also recognises those firefighters from the Country Fire Brigades Board and Bush Fire Brigades Committee, who fought fires and died before CFA was established.

Line of duty: A member is considered in the line of duty, from when they first respond to a call for help to an emergency incident until they return from the incident to their home brigade. Those performing other operational support activities directly related to an emergency incident are also considered as acting in the line of duty. (CFA policy HR02019 Death of a Member)

*CFA has endeavoured to contact family members, but has been unable to contact the families of firefighters with '*' marked beside their last names. CFA would appreciate if a family member could contact CFA Memorial
