Does anyone know why Murray Bridge SES is folding? Been told they will be fully closed by mid this year? They have already handed over RCR to MFS...

Country Fire Service / Out of touch! ( Letter In Mt Barker Courier)
« on: December 18, 2005, 02:46:48 PM »
Letter In Mt Barker Courier this week....

Out Of touch

Sir:- Summer has arrived, record temperatures are forecast and abundant vegetation is present.
Yet i have just attended a meeting where it was stated the CFS hierarchy propose to remove yet another rural firefighting unit from the Mt Barker brigade, having already taken one only a year ago and assuring the brigade no further vehicles would be removed.
This in effect will reduce its rural firefighting capabilities by two thirds. In light of the damning criticism of some of the paid CFS personnel in the handling of the Port Lincoln fires earlier this year, I find it amazing that paid professionals can now justify such a move in this high bushfire prone area of the Mt Lofty Ranges.
Rural residents adjacent to Mt Barker need to be concerned as help will be considerably longer in coming.
The unpaid volunteers who are prepared to risk their lives at the fire front are the salt of the earth while the paid staff who stand back and make critical decisions regarding their safety are, in this case, out of touch with reality.
I write this letter as a passionate volunteer CFS member of 50 years who cannot stand back and accept these terrible mistakes.
The only way now to overthrow this awful decision is for you, the rural landholder, to contact the CFS Region 1 office and your local MP to express your concerns.
