Community Group Firefighters Association
CGFA is a community-based firefighters’ group, that is driven to support our local community when they need the urgent assistance of trained and qualified firefighters, as they face one of life’s most stressful and strenuous situations. With knowledge about the industry and a deep routed passion for serving and saving lives, CGFA South Africa was founded in 2019.
Hard-pressed by legislative requirements that govern the way in which services, such as ours, are offered, CGFA was established on a not-for-profit basis and all members are registered as reservists with the City of Johannesburg Fire Department.
This places CGFA in a unique position, whereby the services that we offer are known to the city and are completely free-of-charge to all citizens.
CGFA is here to empower its volunteers to serve and save lives, to protect property through fire rescue, fire prevention and firefighting. We are active within the communities that we operate, ensuring that we live our values through our actions daily. We are committed to delivering on our mission to serve and save lives.
Community Group Firefighters Association is dedicated to assisting the City of Johannesburg Fire Department, SAPS as well as JMPD when we are called upon. We provide life-saving emergency services to the community and render Firefighting and Rescue support services to all existing Emergency services.
Our services are provided at no cost and are not limited in any way by factors such as financial status and or discriminative towards any person or living creature.
