15.01.2022 Good evening all, SACFS and its brigades are considered an essential service for the purpose of the emergency responses we cover, and our members will still respond to emergency incidents when called upon. We have our own protocols to follow, like wearing a mask as soon as we leave the house, during an incident (unless a P2 mask or BA is required) and on our return home. ... We also have hospital grade disinfectant in appliances which is used whenever an appliance is used, and also hand sanitiser. Members will not respond if they are sick or feeling unwell. So rest assured that we will turn up in an emergency situation, when called upon. Cheers, CP Captain

13.01.2022 CFS disappointed about unauthorised fireground drone use On Friday evening, crews attending the Templers fire were made aware of an unauthorised drone being flown in close proximity to the fireground. "Firegrounds are incredibly complex and the unauthorised use of drones is not acceptable" CFS Manager of State Air Operations, Nik Stanley explained,... "During the Kangaroo Island fires earlier this year, we had to ground our firebombers and aerial support because members of the public were using drones. It was a massive waste of our time and resources. "While the operator complied with the CFS's request to cease using the drone on Friday, it was an added concern that crews shouldn't have to deal with, among all their other tasks and responsibilities while attending a fire." There is a strict 5nm (9.2 km) exclusion zone for all unauthorised aircraft around firegrounds. Breaching this exclusion zone, or interfering with aerial firefighting, is illegal, and can carry heavy fines if you are found guilty. Information on the rules around drone use can be found at www.casa.gov.au/drones/rules.
