Adelaide Forecast Current Fire Bans	Welcome to the Echunga Country Fire Service Web Site. Echunga CFS was originally founded in 1928 by a group of Echunga locals. We are located in Adelaide Hills, South Australia. Echunga CFS responds to many types of emergencies including House Fires, Factory and Industrial Fires, Road Accident Rescues, Wildfires, Flood and Storm Damage, Search and Rescue and animal rescues, We are a lot more diverse than just putting out fires!!

Merry Christmas We would like to wish all members of the community & brigade members a merry Christmas, we hope to have a quiet break & don’t take any offence when we say that “We don’t want to see you over the festive season” Bulk Water Project We have just received finances to move onto stage 2 of our water storage project, this money will be used to further upgrade water transfer pumps giving us quick reliable access for refilling appliances. This is in addition to our 32,000L tank funded by SGIC Insurance last year New Appliance We have just received a brand new Appliance, this vehicle is a superior upgrade to our out-dated Hino single cab, The new vehicle is based on a Hino Pro-Ranger 8Z 4x4 Crew Cab which is powered by a 24v Intercooled turbo diesel 6 Cyl backed with a auto transmission. It has already been called the safest fire appliance in the world & comes with a long list of specialist features.
