Patriot blue for our fire heroes

CFA volunteers have entered the new year donning their new CFA professional workwear, thanks to a $9M investment to produce up to 30,000 workwear sets for members across Victoria. More than 9,100 members have received the new uniforms.

Victorians may have already spotted the modernised look on members at brigade activities, fundraising and community events, or while out working within incident management teams. These workwear sets don’t replace CFA’s iconic yellow firefighting gear, which remains the primary Personal Protective Clothing for CFA firefighters, but instead offers a refreshed design that our members can wear to formal events and activities.

CFA chief officer Jason Heffernan said the rollout of these sets is in full swing and brigades right across the state are beginning to wear the smart new look.

“It’s pleasing to see more and more of our valued

NEW ‘FIT...Tallygaroopna volunteers wearing the new CFA workwear outfits,” he said.

“These comfortable and distinctive sets are uniquely CFA and will strengthen our members’ identity within their communities and across the emergency services sector.”

The new sets include shirts, pants or shorts, jackets, hats and belts. The unified rollout will also see the CFA chief officer, deputy chief officers and other staff groups proudly wearing the Patriot Blue workwear within the emergency services sector and while out in the community.
