Adelaide Fire Brigade History Pages

The Story of the Adelaide Fire Service Brigades

The following is a year by year compendium of the incidents and activities of the Adelaide Fire Brigade.They have been created as a PDF, available to download and read. As further information comes to hand for each year, the new version will be updated with a new date.

These pages contain an article timeline from the newspapers of the time, interspersed with pictures and diagrams and information from other sources. The information contained in these items have been transcribed 'as is' and versions of some articles appear in different newspapers, so for reference they are all included, with the reader to decide which is the correct version of events. The references to the Boothby and Sands and McDougall Directories information has been found sometimes to be a couple of years behind the actual events, so readers should take this into account when referencing timeline details.
