Cobbitty

Protecting our community. Supporting our neighbours.

Local volunteers training together to keep the Cobbitty district ready through every fire season.

Serving Cobbitty for over 77 years.

77+ years of local service

01

Cobbitty RFS has been serving the local community since 1949, when a public meeting at Cobbitty Public Hall brought around 13 residents together to form a volunteer firefighting unit for the area.

02

A lot has changed since those early days, from basic firefighting equipment and an air raid siren used to call volunteers, through to the modern equipment and communication systems we have today.

03

One thing that hasn't changed is that we're built around volunteers giving their time to protect and support the community.

Cobbitty RFS today.

Today that same spirit shows up on the trucks, at training, and out in the community.

What guides us

01

Safety

We train, prepare, and work as one crew so every volunteer can serve effectively and return home safely.

02

Community

We share local knowledge, help neighbours prepare, and stand beside the community before, during, and after emergencies.

A local base for a community-wide response.

The Cobbitty station is where volunteers train, maintain equipment, and prepare for the callouts that matter. It is also where curious locals can start a conversation about joining the NSW RFS.
