Established 1941.

Arcadia Rural Fire Brigade is situated in the picturesque bushland of Hornsby Shire, backing onto Marramarra National Park.  Arcadia RFB was established in 1941 as a result of the bush fires that affected the area in 1939. It was originally part of the 'Outer Sydney Bush Fire Brigade' before branching out to be the 'Arcadia-Berrilee Volunteer Bush Fire Brigade' in 1952.  It was during this time that the brigade was established in Arcadia Park, where it has remained since.  Did you know that Arcadia Brigade’s area of responsibility covers approximately 10,000 hectares and around 43 fire trails!

The role in which Arcadia RFB plays within the local and wider community varies from active fire fighting, to community education.  The NSW RFS and Arcadia RFB are not limited to bush fires.  We attend a range of incidents and activities, including structural fires, motor vehicle accidents, search and rescue, storm damage, and bush fire mitigation.  Furthermore, Arcadia RFB frequently participates in local community events, including the Arcadia Primary School 'Walk to School' day, the Arcadia Markets, and barbecues at our local Bunnings in Dural.
