If you asked our Crews 'What's the most dangerous thing you do?' you might be expecting answers like Bushfires or Structure Fires.

But the truth is more likely to be this. Roadside Incidents.

Vehicle accidents, grass fires and structure fires often require us to work on or adjacent the road. The speed limit past emergency service vehicles with lights flashing is 25kmh.

We've seen the whole spectrum of poor driver behaviour on the road. Drivers attempting to film accidents on their phones, drivers speeding through incidents at 110kmh and those who drive on the footpath or verge because they think the road closure doesn't apply to them. All these behaviours put our crew at risk.

We need you to have our back.

While we're busy working on the incident we've responded to, collecting equipment from the trucks and rolling out hoses we need you to slow down, watch out for crews working on or near the road, and drive safely.

Damaging wind gusts developing across a large part of the state on Friday.

Weather Situation: Gusty northwesterly winds are expected to develop from Friday morning, mainly about the Mt Lofty and Flinders Ranges, while a change moving through the state will produce broadscale thunderstorm activity increasing the risk more broadly for damaging wind gusts during the afternoon and early evening. Conditions will slowly ease during Friday evening.

DAMAGING WIND GUSTS with peak gusts around 90 km/h are possible after sunrise on Friday morning, mainly about the Mt Lofty Ranges and Flinders Ranges, extending throughout the warning area during the afternoon.

DAMAGING WIND GUSTS with peak gusts to 100 km/h are likely with thunderstorms during the afternoon and early evening.

Winds are expected to ease below thresholds during Friday evening.

Locations which may be affected include Whyalla, Renmark, Port Augusta, Port Pirie, Clare and Murray Bridge.
