Memorials to Firefighters
Remembering our Fallen

Throughout the SA Country Fire Service Brigades, there is a history of mateship, and being part of a family with all Fire Service members. Memorials have been constructed to remember those who have been killed whilst fighting fires and on active duty

There are two significant Memorials in South Australia. One Memorial is located at the Centenial Park Gardens, Pasadena, which is for Fire, SA Police, St John Ambulance and National Crime Authority members, with another major Memorial at the Mount Lofty Summit Visitors Center which is for CFS members only.

Each year on the 16th of February, the day fire swept over the Mount Lofty Summit area, a service is held to remember those CFS volunteers who have fallen whilst on duty.
