14.01.2022 This year to date we have attended around 70 call outs and around 20% have been bush fire related. The other 80% are: Fire alarms Car accidents... Structure fires Car fires (including a boat fire) Flooding Tree downs Assist SA Ambulance Service with lifts and medical assist (CPR) Oil and hydraulic spills Injured animals And the list goes on Our members aren’t just skilled in bush fires, but a wide range of skills. We are always learning new techniques to better our Brigade and be able to help when that 000 call comes through.

13.01.2022 Preparing your emergency kit and keeping it in a handy place means you’re ready to go if needed when a bushfire hits so why risk it? Prepare now. #bebushfireready #5minbushfireplan

09.01.2022 Yesterday a few of our members attended Driving Vehicles Under Operational Conditions course, where they were put to the test in driving various CFS appliances off road and in different situations. This is vital when driving to a job and on scene to keep our crews safe. We take these trucks to the limit and having the skills to do so is the best way to protect the community! Ps. Thank you Kangarilla Country Fire Service for letting us borrow your truck. We brought it back i...n one piece lol. Thanks Geoff and Jeremy for taking time out of your week
