Since the beginning of CFS, and well before, the farm firefighting community has provided a quick response to the early stages of a fire, the active firefighting during blazes, and the continued monitoring after emergency services have handed properties back to their owners. Without the support of our farming communities, our volunteers' roles would be so much more complicated. The CFS and the wider community are extremely grateful for the support and quick response you provide during a fire.
To ensure you are well protected, supported and cared for whilst supporting CFS operations, we require all FFU operators to be formally registered with the CFS.
Registering your FFU has many benefits, including access to:
- CFS resources and information
- vehicle stickers identifying you to SAPOL at Traffic Management Points
- insurance coverage for owner/operators and their equipment used in support of CFS during fires
- fireground safety awareness materials and online resources
- easier access to logistics support during fires, including meals and water re-supply.
For more information on registering your farm fire unit/s with the CFS, please review the additional information below.
If you would like to update information for a registered FFU or operator, or have recently disposed of a registered FFU, please contact the CFS via email at cfs.ffu@eso.sa.gov.au.
