FRV Fire Station 15 Heidelberg

January 29, 2024 – 2:19 pm

FS15 is part of FRV Northern District, and sits on the busy Bell Street, in Heidelberg Heights. The station sits on the North East corner of a large block of land which houses the Heidelberg Repatriation Hospital and has been in this station since 1992. Prior to this location, FS15 was located in and known as Ivanhoe. This former location is on Upper Heidelberg Road and operated as FS15 for over 80 years. The former building now houses an Italian Restaurant.

FS15 contains a double engine bay, but runs a single Pumper. A spare vehicle can occasionally be seen occupying the spare bay.

Overview

Fire Rescue Victoria is actually one of the newest State Fire Services in Australia. FRV is an updated service, bringing together the former Metropolitan Fire Brigade (MFB), as well as the full-time firefighting component that was previously part of CFA.

The new organisation was established on 1 July 2020 as part of Victoria’s Fire Services Reforms.

There are 85 FRV fire and rescue stations across the state. Our firefighters operate 47 fire stations in metropolitan Melbourne and 38 regional stations, most of which are co-located with CFA volunteer brigades.
