The fire danger season is over for this summer 🔥🔥

However warm days still bring a risk of fires, please take caution when burning off. And if you see a fire that you think poses a risk don't hesitate to call 000

Burning within the town limits is restricted to clean burning comfort or cooking - So Pizza ovens, small fire pits etc.
These fire need to be small, with good clearances and CLEAN burn - no green waste, plastics, rubbish etc.

This "clean" air zone covers the township of Murray Bridge including the eastside (border Karoonda hwy & Loddon rd), if you need to burn green waste a permit under certain conditions is available from the council.

Free green waste days are also available throughout the year.

More information about burning in the town limits is available from the council

In a bid to reduce response times we are now doing driver training on the speedway track, teaching our drivers the fine art of truck control

With the first graduate's passing recently the feedback from the Murray Bridge crew has been awesome

"This style of training gives me alot more confidence behind the wheel" LT Smith

"I can now slide a truck like the Captain" FF White

It's hoped this training can be offered to other brigades in the area in the coming months.

Remember life is too short to take everything seriously.... Happy April 1st 🎉

We have something new... well new to us anyway

Earlier this month we received our refurbished 34P, previously based at Mannum this truck has been modified and fitted out to carry the current standard equipment for a truck of this type.

The crews received a brief overview of the truck on delivery night and have been busy training on it since

This truck now carries more specialist urban equipment then our previous one, and increases the capacity for our brigade to respond to urban style events.

This a huge win, not just for the Murray Bridge community but for the surrounding areas

If you want to become a firefighter contact us today, we are always looking for new volunteers
