CFA: Increase in the number of joint FRV/CFA training and exercises
CFA reported 110 joint training and exercising activities were undertaken with FRV across 2025-26, which was 45 fewer activities than 2024-25. CFA advised that the decline for this annual indicator may be partly attributed to heavier operational demands and an extended fire season, which reduced time available for joint training and exercises.

CFA: Increase in delivery of operational training to CFA volunteers
CFA reported a result of 5,171 for the number of certificates issued for operational training to CFA volunteers. This represents a significant increase on Q3 results of 3012, and Q4 2024-25, which was 3,199. CFA advised this result was partly due to the completion of many training activities that were delayed during previous reporting periods because of the significant fire season Victoria recently experienced.
The growth in certificate issuance demonstrates the commendable role of volunteer instructors in delivery operational training and transfer of knowledge.
