Farming Community, Spencer CFS Group are seeking interest to supply a sign similar to below to indicate water supplies for rural operations. The idea is that if you have a suitable water source, then the sign could be placed on the entrance to your property to enable emergency access to your water supply.
If you are interested in one of these signs, please contact David Letheby, Captain, Port Broughton. [email protected]

🔥 Fire Danger Season Update 🔥

Fire Danger Season has now officially ended in the following Fire Ban Districts:
Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Lower Eyre Peninsula, North East Pastoral, North West Pastoral, West Coast, and Flinders.

While this is a welcome end to the season, we remind everyone in these areas to continue exercising caution when using fire. Recent rain and cooler weather can be misleading, and risks can still remain.

For the rest of the state, Fire Danger Season is expected to end on 30 April. These districts must continue to follow all current restrictions until the season is officially lifted.

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 Catastrophic, well prepared, well constructed and defended homes may not be safe during a fire. To ensure your survival you should leave tonight or early tomorrow morning.

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

Port Broughton CFS vehicles presented in all their Xmas glory. Thanks Sam and Jade for your decorating.
We spent Wednesday training night detailing both trucks for the parade, only to get 2 large crop fires in nearby Mundoora.
Trucks got their 2nd wash Friday night. Always the way!🤣
