25.01.2022 We hope you’re enjoying this amazing spring weather. Last month we held our Annual General Meeting (AGM) where we elected office holders for the 2020-2022 term. At this meeting Craig Holt opted against being re-elected as an officer. This marks the end of an era for Craig. He has held operational rank at Burnside since at least 1985. During this time he has held numerous roles including senior fire fighter, lieutenant and captain. In 2005 Craig was awarded the prestigious A...ustralian Fire Service Medal (AFSM). More recently, Craig was awarded the City of Burnside Citzen of the Year (2019) presented by Anne Monceaux - Mayor of Burnside. Craig, thank you for your leadership over the years. Moving forward, irrespective of rank, colour of your helmet or markings on your shoulder you will continue to be an amazing leader within our brigade and the wider CFS.

25.01.2022 Its really nice to attend a call out and have an awesome outcome . Nothing got burnt or damaged , no one or thing was injured just a happy dog and happier owner. Oh and some blackberry weeds got slashed as a by product. Thanks to the help from the National Parks and SES crews as well.

24.01.2022 important information venue change The Burnside Lions Christmas carols are on this Sunday evening starting at 6 pm but due to the predicted rain have been moved to the Regal ( formally Chelsea ) theatre on Kensington rd.

24.01.2022 Thank you to all the local businesss who are getting behind our latest fundraising efforts. We have passive collection helmets positioned throughout our local community. Funds raised will help improve training and infrastructure for our volunteer firefighters.

24.01.2022 All CFS Brigades are incredibly lucky to have a pool of volunteers and employers that allow them to do what we do best in times like this. These groups of people are regularly acknowledged and thanked It is often overlooked that to enable our Brigade members to go and fight these fires, at moments notice with no real timeline as to when we will return, there are a team of quiet achievers that support our Volunteers. To all the partners, husbands and wives who stay back, comf...ort children (even though they don't actually know what is going on), manage family commitments, re-organise social events and generally make sure that in a chaotic situation there is stability at home. To all these quiet achievers, we can't do it with out you!

Its always a great opportunity to demonstrate our high level of training and to work alongside other brigades learning new things from each other.

10.01.2022 Our crew have had a very busy 24 hours. Last night we were deployed to a car roll over. Shortly after clearing we were dispatched to a very complex rescue operation in Stirling. This evening our crew were refining their urban firefighting skills.

08.01.2022 The crew are down on the Parade ready for The Norwood Christmas Pageant to start. An excellent way to end a busy week and have some fun. Come on down and enjoy the atmosphere!

07.01.2022 Today Burnside CFS crews assisted SAAS paramedics and Medstar doctors retrieve an injured bushwalker from incredibly steep terrain. The skill shown by the pilot in hovering just above the trees and then winching the casualty and crew member up between the trees was awe inspiring. Not to mention there were power lines in the area as well. Hope the walker makes a quick recovery. CFS dont just do bushfires.

06.01.2022 Earlier today our volunteers were involved in the 2020-2021 season launch. As pictured, we joined forces with SA Metropolitan Fire Service & Vincent Tarzia to deliver important fire safety messages for the upcoming season.

Please comment below with a photo of your prospective recruit to begin the selection process.

02.01.2022 So when doing fire watch on a 12 hour night shift there are many ways to stay alert this is one unique way.

02.01.2022 We are much more than a bushfire service. Today our firefighters were deployed to Normanville to investigate a mysterious white ‘film’ over a waterway. Our crews utilised their specialist capability training in HazMat to investigate as required. We utilised high tech laser equipment to help identify this substance.

01.01.2022 Burnside pumper along with Greenhill CFS 34 tonight responded to a vehicle accident near Mt. Lofty. Which luckily with current conditions was only minor. Please always remember to drive to conditions keeping your safety and the safety of others in mind.
