Shed fire in Goolwa - 11 October 2025

CFS crews were called to a shed fire in Goolwa on the Fleurieu Peninsula around 3.45pm this afternoon.

Approximately 50 CFS firefighters, with support from MFS crews, worked to contain the fire to the shed which was full of waste.

Heavy machinery was used to spread out waste piles so crews in breathing apparatus could extinguish the fire. Thanks to their skilled response, firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading beyond the shed.

The shed was partially destroyed, with damage estimated in excess of $500,000.

Firefighters will remain on scene into the early hours of the morning to monitor for any smouldering areas. SA Police and SA Ambulance were also on scene supporting crews.

Fire Investigators will attend.
