CFS Social Media

CFS launched it's social media presence in Bushfire Action week 2011, including a Twitter feed and Facebook page informing the public about current incidents, and a community page to spread important community safety updates, warnings, and news from the SA Country Fire Service.

Fees and Charges

In the State Budget handed down on 16th September 2010, the State Government announced their decision to introduce service fees and charges for the CFS. As a result of this decision, the CFS will commence charging as of 1st July 2011 for the connection and monitoring of fire alarms, unwanted false activations (UFAs) and the provision of building fire safety services.

The introduction of fees and charges will effectively address the need to improve the utilisation of resources within the CFS structure, ration the demand for services provided, recover costs where appropriate, align service fees and charges with those charged by the SA Metropolitan Fire Services and to reduce the number of UFAs as a result of poorly installed and maintained fire alarm systems or avoidable activation of alarms from human behaviour.
