• 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.

For those wondering why the siren sounded this evening, that was our regular monthly test which we conduct during fire season.

In the event a fire is threatening the township the siren will sound to warn residents like those who were here during Sampson Flat might remember.

101 reasons to become an organ donor.... RIP Charlie

South Australia Police always make every effort to ensure lives lost on our roads are recognised as people – not numbers.

Today, Commissioner of Police Grant Stevens and his wife Emma want to introduce the 101st life lost on our roads this year – their youngest son, Charlie.

In honour of 101, the family would also like to raise awareness on the importance of organ donation and ask those reading this to talk about organ and tissue donation with your family and friends.

To register for organ donation is easy, go to www.donatelife.gov.au

While we're normally too busy on the fire ground to take photos and videos, we're occasionally in the right place @ the right time waiting for tasking..... today was one of those occasions
