Are they still calling it a Brigade(s) or is it a Service?

Individual stations will still be brigades i.e Parramatta Brigade of Fire Rescue NSW I think

So stations are now called brigades, and the Fire Brigades are now called F&R NSW? I bet that's going to be a culture shock for the old timers!

Individual stations have always been called brigdes in the NSWFB or FRNSW

Some of them on another forum were carrying on like it was the end of the world.
