SA Country Fire Service have confirmed that a volunteer CFS firefighter has been killed and another seriously injured after a tree fell on their truck while fighting the Coles fire in the South East.

This highlights the very real dangers posed to volunteers who consistently put themselves in harms way to protect their community.

My thoughts and prayers are with immediate family and friends, first responders, fellow volunteers and the entire CFS family.

I pray that this fire can be contained as soon as possible and without further loss.It is our deepest regret to confirm that two SA Country Fire Service members were involved in an incident at the Coles fire, involving a falling tree. This incident resulted in one fatality and one serious injury. Family and other personnel have been informed and are being offered support at this time. The seriously injured CFS member has been taken to hospital for further treatment.

The safety and wellbeing of our people is our highest priority and our thoughts are with our CFS family at this time. ... See MoreSee Less
