May is History Month in South Australia, with the theme of POWER.

"Power means a lot of things, in a lot of places and spaces. There is power in science, power in art, power in the food we share and the clothes we wear. There is power in industry. There is power in storytelling. Above all, there is power in people."
(https://festival.history.sa.gov.au/ )

There is power in the hands of emergency service volunteers - the power to connect to others, the power to help, the power of a bunch of individuals who together being part of team, that team becomes a crew, and the crew are CFS Volunteers.

CFS Volunteers undertake many different duties - and not all of it is on the back of a fire truck.

The CFS Promotions Unit has been run by CFS Volunteers since its inception thirty years ago (yes, we celebrate our 30th later this year!)

So, over the month of May, we are going to share some of the history of the CFS Promotions Unit team from its inception to our more recent history.

We hope you will join us for the wander through our history!
