Is that Gorillas in the Mist?🦍

Try Volunteers in the Fog.🚨🙆‍♀️🙆🚨

Crews from Kapunda SES and Kapunda Country Fire Service had a nice early morning today with a large tree fallen and blocking a main road.

Working together crews cleared the road and open up access.
This is a timely reminder to always take care and drive to conditions, particularly where visibility is limited.

Happy International Women's Day.

Today we recognise the women in our lives. From those who respond to emergencies, those who provide support to our unit, and our partners who hold things down when the emergencies call.

The dedication, heart and balance women bring to our crew from the frontline and behind the scenes, we take today to honor the roles they fulfill, and the support they provide.

To all the women in our lives, our unit and our crews, we thank you.
