The Country Fire Authority (CFA) and Fire Rescue Victoria (FRV) have provided their quarterly fire service performance updates for the quarter 2, 2025–26 reporting period (1 October to 31 December 2025) to the Fire Services Implementation Monitor (FSIM).

In this quarter, CFA reported on 26 indicators and FRV reported on 48 measures.

The FSIM has reported on select results based on the following criteria:

Demonstrates a notable achievement

  • CFA: An increase in the number of community members engaging with CFA (indicator 1.2.1)
  • CFA: Increase in percentage of structure fires contained to room of origin (indicator 2.2.1)
  • CFA: Road accident rescue response times meeting benchmark (indicator 2.4.1)
  • FRV: Percentage of response times to EMR within 9.2 minutes (90%) (measure 11.1.ii)

Continuing off-track trend over repeated quarters

  • FRV: Percentage of response times within the FRV district within FRV benchmark (YTD) to structure fire incidents within 7.7 minutes (measure 11.1.i)

Significant change from the baseline or previous comparable quarter (undesirable outcome)
