CFS to mark 30 years since Ash Wednesday

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 15 Februari 2013 | 11.50

SOUTH Australia's volunteer firefighters will remember all their colleagues killed in action at a memorial service on Saturday marking the 30th anniversary of the Ash Wednesday bushfires.

The service will be held at the Mt Lofty summit, an area devastated by the fires which swept through the Adelaide Hills and the state's south-east three decades ago.

Three Country Fire Service personnel died during the Ash Wednesday fires and are among 13 to have been killed on duty across SA.

CFS regional commander Chris Martin said it was important a focus remained on the loss of all those lives.

"As South Australians we all have a responsibility to reflect on their sacrifice and the anniversary of Ash Wednesday is an appropriate time to do that," CFS regional commander Chris Martin said.

Ash Wednesday remains South Australia's worst natural disaster with 28 people killed, almost 400 homes destroyed and about 200,000 hectares blackened.

With Saturday marking the 30th anniversary, the CFS service is expected to attract a bigger crowd than usual.
