The
CFS grew from the days when farming families organised themselves into
groups to confront bushfires (Wildfires) that ravaged their land and
destroyed their livelihoods. Over the years the volunteer ethic has been
preserved and training, equipment and expertise have grown. |
|
|
Today, the CFS is made up of more than 17,000
people who volunteer their time to train and serve in a wide variety of
emergencies. These people are based in 430 Brigades around the State
from the foothills of Adelaide to far flung communities in bush, grass,
rural and farm areas. |
|
|
Men and women from diverse backgrounds have joined CFS to learn new
skills and help others. They include farmers, accountants, butchers,
teachers and shop assistants. You may not always see them in their CFS
uniforms, but they're always on call, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. |
|
|
From the old days of bushfire brigades, the CFS now has
state-of-the-art technology such as communications and emergency service
equipment. Our volunteers are committed to strong, resourceful,
progressive and rewarding community service. |
