The collected history of the SA Country Fire Service

Logo of the CFSVA Official CFS Insignia - The Fire Service Star The History Section of the website is dedicated to the display of the history of the Country Fire Service (CFS), the Emergency Fire Service (EFS), Firefighting Associations and fire related community groups - how they started, the people involved, the equipment and appliances used, the stations they had, the training they did, the fundraising and the incidents they attended.

The information on this website has been collated from a range of sources - official records, newspaper articles, brigade minutes, official correspondence, private collections and more.

If you have any photographs, information or items that relate to the history of CFS and associated organisations that you would like to share, please contact us.
