Tathra Volunteer Rural Fire Brigade was formed back in 1943, to protect the township of Tathra and surrounds from the threat of Fire.... These days the Brigade plays a role not only in fire protection and mitigation but also assistance in other incidents. The Brigade looks after nearly 50 square km of area including Tathra Town, Wallagoot, Kalaru and Bournda which has a total population of around 2,500 people. The Brigade is involved in many facets, including Fire Suppression (both bush and structural fires), assistance at Motor Vehicle Accidents, Bush Fire Hazard reduction, Fire community education and general assistance to clubs and organisations within the Tathra area. The Tathra Brigade was originally formed in 1945, and nearly 70 years later the Brigade is still going strong. The Station boasts the most modern facilities and equipment and comfortably houses the Brigades two appliance, with room for more appliances well into the future.
