Thinking of heading down to watch the Vintage and Classic Parade next Sunday?

Make sure you call past the McLaren Vale CFS station and grab one of our famous Bacon and Egg rolls, or a snag.

Justin will be cooking up a storm on our new BBQ from 9.30am 🧑‍🍳

We will also be joined by Living The Bean Coffee Van.

What better way to start your day?

Total fire ban day tomorrow, Tuesday the 31st March

TOTAL FIRE BANS have been declared for Tuesday 31 March 2026 in the following Fire Ban Districts:

Mount Lofty Ranges - Extreme

Where Total Fire Bans have been declared, very hazardous fire weather conditions are predicted.

The Total Fire Ban will apply for 24 hours from midnight tonight to midnight tomorrow.

The CFS recommends that you implement your Bushfire Survival Plan.

Fire Danger Ratings
Where fire ban districts have a forecast fire danger rating of Extreme, only well prepared, well constructed and actively defended houses are likely to offer safety during a fire.

What should you do
If you don't have a plan to ensure your survival, leaving early before a fire starts is your safest option.

In making your plan, you should be aware that in high fire danger conditions, essential services including mains-fed electricity and water supply may not be available due to the prevailing weather conditions.

Landowners are asked to adhere to local harvest codes of practice which are available from your local council. Landowners are also asked to ensure that any burn-off activities conducted today are fully extinguished before midnight tonight.

Agencies are advised to activate their Total Fire Ban procedures in preparation for these predicted fire weather conditions

🔥CFS CADET PROGRAM 💛

Strong communities don’t happen by accident — they’re built early.

Do you know a young person aged 11–18 who’s ready to build confidence, learn new skills and be part of something bigger than themselves?

The South Australian Country Fire Service Cadet Program gives young people aged 11–18 the opportunity to learn discipline, teamwork and practical emergency service skills in a structured, supportive environment.

Cadets learn:
💦 Basic firefighting skills
📻 Radio communications
🧭 Teamwork & leadership
🩹 First aid & safety awareness
🤝 Community service & events

It’s hands-on, practical, confidence-building — and a whole lot of fun.

🚨 Not all brigades run cadets, so the best way to join is:
• Contact your local CFS brigade
• Call the CFS Volunteer Hotline on 1300 364 587
• Attend an info night or training session

Today’s cadets are tomorrow’s volunteers. 💛🔥

🔥 After the recent fires, have you thought about volunteering?

At the SA Country Fire Service, being a volunteer is about more than fighting fires — it’s about supporting your community, helping neighbours, and being there when it matters most.

No experience needed.
No need to be fearless — just bring heart♥️
Live or work nearby, and make a difference where it counts.

Your local brigade isn’t just a station — it’s a family, a place where care meets action.

📍 Find your brigade → CFS Brigade Finder
