Meningie CFS Call for More Volunteers
Following the fire, the Meningie CFS has put out a call for more volunteers.
“No doubt, the smoke was visible to everyone in town. A visible reminder that we need more volunteers to protect the town. If you’re interested in helping out, please message us,” the Meningie CFS wrote on Facebook yesterday.
While most Adelaide Hills teams are adequately resourced, many regional and rural South Australian brigades are struggling to attract enough recruits.
