22.01.2022 The Templers fireground has been declared safe, but should serve as a reminder of the very real risk we are facing this summer. The fire moved extremely fast an...d it was only because of the quick response of our volunteers, supported by other agencies and the community, that we were able to get a handle on it as soon as we did. This afternoon's weather has the potential to see more fires like it. If you’re in an area with an Extreme or Severe Fire Danger Rating, please make sure that you have a 5 Minute Bushfire Plan (https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/prepare-f/5-minute-bushfire-plan/) or make your way to you closest or most convenient Bushfire Safer Place (https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/prepare-fo/bushfire-safer-places/). If you’re in an area where there aren’t Total Fire Bans, still ensure you’re still taking care to adapt your activities and behaviours to the conditions you're experiencing. Stay safe and know that our volunteers will be here if you need them.
