Located approximately 15km east of the Australian Capital Territory, Queanbeyan City Brigade is situated on the corner of Ellerton & Old Sydney Roads in Queanbeyan.  Queanbeyan is a town of approximately 25,000 people and is frequently travelled by nearby ACT residents on their way to the coast and coastal residents on their way to the snowfields.  Queanbeyan is home to New South Wales Fire Brigades 428 Station, who run a mixture of Permanent and Retained personnel protecting within the City Limits.  Queanbeyan City Brigade has a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to assist NSWFB when required, and also has its own response area on the outskirts of town - including the notorious Kings Hwy.

With a compliment of approximately 30 active fire fighters and support personnel, the Queanbeyan City Brigade provides a 100% volunteer service, with members giving up their own time to serve their community.  Our members come from a wide socio-economic background - each bringing their unique skill sets to enhance our team.

The Queanbeyan City Brigade is a fairly active brigade with varied call rates annually, responding to incidents ranging from Motor Vehicle Accidents to Bush Fires.  However, its not all glamour and glory with members undertaking non-emergency activities such as fundraising, community awareness and competitions/field-days.  Queanbeyan City is also a very social brigade, and when our members aren't training or fire fighting, there is usually some infamous social function to be attended.

Queanbeyan Brigade trains regularly, and sets a high standard for its members.  Training is conducted fortnightly throughout the year, and details can usually be found in the news archive.  Training is typically held on the first Sunday at 0900h, and third Wednesday at 1900h.  A calendar can be obtained by contacting our secretary at  secretary@fire.asn.au.
