Become a CFS Volunteer

Our Vision : A Safer Community

Our Mission

To protect life, property and the environment from fire and other emergencies whilst protecting and supporting our personnel and continuously improving.

We're the people you sometimes see on television, fighting bushfires and helping our community in times of emergency. 

At the SA Country Fire Service (CFS), it's a real team effort and we need lots of team players with different skills.  You don't have to be out there holding the hose fighting fires - we also need people to do things like operating the radio, logistics, administration, catering and lots more.

 You never know what challenges you'll be facing next week, but one thing's for sure - it will never be boring.

"A healthy community needs active participants"

Many current volunteers say they joined the CFS to protect and help their local communities.  And the pay?  Well, there isn't any.  But the rewards are many - learning new skills, keeping fit, gaining valuable qualifications, earning respect within the community, having fun, being active as part of a team.  We really do make a difference.

We've got the gear.

We've got the experience.

We'll train you.

We'll equip you.

All you need to bring along is your energy and your enthusiasm.

"Satisfaction guaranteed"

In our many roles we work with the Police, Metropolitan Fire Service, State Emergency Service, SA Ambulance and National Parks personnel.  Wherever we're needed, we're there.

At the CFS we have more than 430 Brigades across the State.  We have many committed volunteers and we would like more.

So, if you want to be part of a team that really makes a difference, give us a call on 1300 364 587, or complete the expression of interest form online.

You will then be referred to your nearest Brigade.
