Fiskville, VIC 3342, is a small rural locality situated approximately 80 kilometers west of Melbourne, Australia. Known primarily for its historical connection to the Country Fire Authority (CFA), Fiskville was home to the CFA Training College, which operated for decades before its closure in 2015 due to concerns over contamination from firefighting chemicals. The area is characterized by its tranquil, semi-rural setting, with rolling hills, farmland, and proximity to natural reserves like the Brisbane Ranges National Park. Despite its quiet atmosphere, Fiskville gained national attention due to the environmental and health issues linked to the former training site. Today, it remains a quiet, sparsely populated community with a focus on rural life and natural beauty.
