 The SA Museum of FireFighting closed many years ago....it was proudly supported by both SAMFS/CFS members.

for those interested..

The Milang and Districts Historical Society Inc...Has a Museum at Milang with a collection of EFS...CFS..SAMFS..SA Railways..Appliances..

Their most recent Appliance is the International 48 the Wheel Escape ladder..that was used extensively by SA Museum of FireFighting 10 years ago..some of their equipment is at Tailem Town

If your in trouble...be it car accident or house fire....a siren sounds like christmas bells when its needed..

Yep.....No ppe.no getting on truck.....and no sirens after 22:00 sounds good
