... and in your Social media

The CFS is launching it's social media presence in Bushfire Action week, 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.

Follow @cfsalerts on Twitter or "like" SA Country Fire Service and CFSUpates on Facebook.

As always, you should never rely on one source for critical emergency information, and always call 000 in an emergency.
