A Reminder to Stay on the Road

This morning, Coromandel Valley CFS crews responded to reports of a road crash rescue at Craigburn Farm.

On arrival, crews located a vehicle that had travelled down a walking trail while the occupants were exploring the area, before becoming stuck. Fortunately, no one was injured.

CFS crews assisted with stabilising the vehicle and, with the assistance of Blackwood Country Fire Service, the vehicle was safely removed from the trail and relocated to a safe location. SA Police and SA Ambulance Service also attended the incident.

While this incident ended without injury, it provides an important community safety reminder. Walking and recreational trails are not necessarily suitable for motor vehicles. Conditions can change quickly, with narrow sections, steep or unstable terrain and limited opportunities to safely turn around or recover a vehicle.

Exploring our local area is a great way to get outdoors, but if you’re travelling by vehicle, please stick to designated roads and tracks that are open and suitable for vehicle access.

Some pics from Friday nights joint training exercise with other Sturt Group Brigades.

Using the old Karkoo Nursery and Library, Coromandel Valley joined many other crews to practice structure fire procedures.

Great to work so well with other local brigades.

🥳🎉Party Smoke Alert 🚨 ‼️
Tomorrow night for training, from approx 7:30PM, we will be training at a site on main road Blackwood!!
You may notice party smoke (which looks similar to real smoke) drifting from the building from 7:30pm.

The purpose of the training is to familiarise us with urban structure fires and allows BA Breathing Apperatus operators to nagivate through a smoke filled building. It also allows us to train with adjoining brigades! This will be a group excersice and have fire appliances from every brigade in our group and our neighbours at Upper Sturt CFScoming to the party aswell.

We have also done training nights over the past couple of weeks to for our senior fire fighters, captains and lieutenants to familiarise our selfs with incident control training for large urban incidents. We can’t wait to bring it all together tomorrow night!

Feel free to give us a wave and a toot as you pass by and you’re most welcome to watch from a distance including those that would like to take photos!! 📸🎥
