Our Road Toll is too high. Listen to this. It applies to the Police, SAAS responders, Fire and Rescue responders and medical personnel and every family who has had a loved one not come home.

That's a lot of voluntary time provided to local communities.

Over the past 12 months, South Australian Country Fire Service volunteers and staff responded to 10,058 incidents across the state. From bushfires and structure fires to road crashes, hazardous materials incidents and community assistance.

Every response represents the dedication, skill and commitment of our volunteers and staff, supported by their families, employers and communities. Thank you to everyone who makes this service possible and stands behind our people every step of the way.

Welcome to Winter!!

We hope everyone is still intact after the windy weather. Plenty of rain for the farmers and your rain water tanks. We got to stay home with no calls for weather or trees down so a good result.

Stay safe on the wet roads. You know you hardly lose any time driving just 5kmh slower. A trip to Adelaide would take less than 10mins longer. 220km to Adelaide at an average of 100kmh would take 2hrs 12mins, at an average of 95kmh it would take 2hrs 19 mins after all, you do need to slow down through Lochiel, Pt Wakefield and then through to the City, taking the Highway and then Northern expressway to Port Rd. Or is that too much Maths for today??

As we commemorate ANZAC Day, we remember those who have served, those who have fallen and those who continue to serve to make this country the great country it is with the freedoms we take for granted far too often.
Lest We Forget.

Tonight, Crystal Brook CFS undertook their 3 yearly RCR Upskill under the watchful and enthusiastic eyes of Tappy from R4 Training and Dave Z from State Training. After a quick theory session at the station, the crew headed out to do some practical activities .. ie.. cut stuff up. We started by revisiting stabilisation, before deglazing (taking the glass out) and then got into some new and usual processes of cutting, spreading, ramming, and crushing. The usual road crash sounds of banging and breaking as components come free. A great night for all to revisit and refresh. Cheers to Tappy and Z for the overtime they put into training others. Some Pics attached thanks to Nicole for taking.
Stay safe out there
