The Mount Barker Country Fire Service would like to extend a huge thankyou for all the help and support from our good friends at Swissphone for the creation of the Australian version of the Firefighter Response System (FFRS). The team at Swissphone have put a lot of time and effort into making FFRS available in Australia. If you are interested in the Firefighter Response System please contact the team at info@swissphonena.com or visit www.swissphone.com/ for more information

The S.A. Country Fire Service Mt Barker Brigade would like to thank the community for their donations in our fundraising events.

Without the time, dedication an commitment of our volunteers, the CFS would not exist in our community. The CFS provides a valuable resource both in the prevention of bush fires and the controlling and extinguishing of fires both in urban and rural areas.
The CFS receives a budget from the Government which is used for the purchase and maintenance of the fire appliances, protective fire fighting uniforms and equipment. These budgets are limited as monies are allocated to every Brigade in the State.   Our Brigade appreciates donations in order to help with these costs as well as the purchase of much needed equipment.

Special thanks to Josh at Adelaide Hills Auto Refinishers for kindly supporting the Mt Barker CFS. Please support this local business that supports CFS volunteers. If you require touch up work done to your vehicle please call Josh on 0400 888 089 servicing the City, Adelaide Hills & Murraylands
