Kersbrook CFS extends our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Peter during this difficult time.

May he rest peacefully.
โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’›

It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of CFS firefighter Peter Curtis on Sunday afternoon while undertaking remote firefighting on the Eyre Peninsula.

At the time of his passing, Peter was part of a National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) brigade strike team deployed to assist with a scrub fire in Pinkawillinie Conservation Park, west of Kimba. This was part of a coordinated effort to protect the park and surrounding communities under challenging conditions.

Peter dedicated his life to protecting South Australiaโ€™s landscapes and communities. Beginning his firefighting career with ForestrySA in 1995, he transferred to NPWS in 2017, where he served in senior leadership roles including Strike Team Leader and Sector Commander. He was deeply respected for his skill, leadership, and generosity in mentoring others.

Above all, Peter was a caring and considerate person, loved by all who knew him. His loss will be felt profoundly across our organisations and the broader community.

The circumstances surrounding Peterโ€™s passing are under investigation. We ask that everyone respect the privacy of his family and colleagues during this difficult time.

Our thoughts are with Peterโ€™s family, friends, and fellow firefighters.

๐ŸŽ…๐Ÿš’ HO HO HOLD ONโ€ฆ HEโ€™S BACK! ๐Ÿš’๐ŸŽ…

Kersbrook, you didnโ€™t think Santa would skip his favourite fire truck, did you? ๐Ÿ˜‰
Thatโ€™s right, the big man in red is hopping aboard our shiny CFS truck and rolling through town spreading Christmas cheer (and maybe checking whoโ€™s on the naughty list ๐Ÿ‘€).

Youโ€™ll hear the sirens, see the lights, and the Big man himself. ๐ŸŽ…

Keep an eye out for the routes coming soon!

Kersbrook CFS crews are getting ready. Are you? ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Our members have been putting in the hours at training, including vital burnover training. This prepares us for the worst-case scenario if a fire overruns our fire truck. Itโ€™s a tough but essential part of staying safe while fighting bushfires

Nowโ€™s the time for you to get ready too:
โœ… Check & prepare your property
โœ… Review your bushfire plan
โœ… Know what youโ€™ll do on high fire danger days.

For more information on how to prepare: https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/plan-prepare/bushfire-ready/

Preparation saves lives, yours and ours. ๐Ÿš’

Hi all.
Just a reminder, if you are a valued Farm Fire Unit operator, itโ€™s time to re register your unit if you wish to be active for the next 2 years.
Once you have registered, please contact us to be issued a new registration sticker.
Also, you can follow
GUMERACHA GROUP Farm Fire unit page.

Farm Fire Unit Registrations for 2025-26 are available now.

Register at the bottom of this page:

https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au/plan-prepare/business-farms/farm-fire-units/registration/

"If you are registering your FFU in our local area, please choose CFS Region 2 and your local CFS brigade in the required spaces on the form"

Becoming a registered FFU is beneficial to the owner/operator and the CFS. The CFS can provide coverage for injuries and vehicle damage, as well as information to assist you to work with your local CFS brigades before, during, and after fires.

The registration process will provide you with a basic understanding of your role and responsibilities on a fireground. Online registration may also be available at regional and local events hosted by CFS Groups and Brigades. Once your online registration has been completed you will be sent a FFU sticker to be displayed on your vehicle. If you are unable to access the CFS FFU online registration, approach your local CFS Brigade, Group or CFS Regional Office for assistance.

Further information:

We look forward to working with you all.
