$250k CFS museum for Naracoorte
Significant steps are being taken for Naracoorte to house a
permanent and public display of historic fire-fighting vehicles, CFS
uniforms, photographs and other memorabilia from all parts of SA. If
all goes to plan, a purpose-built pavilion for the State museum costing
about $250,000 will be erected in the grounds of the Sheep’s Back
Museum in MacDonnell St.
In-principle agreement for such a
development has recently been struck between the Naracoorte National
Trust branch (owners of the Sheep’s Back Museum), and the SA Volunteer
Fire Fighters Museum Incorporated. The next stage of the proposal is to develop a business plan and detailed drawings which are agreeable to the two organisations.The drawings must also comply with the regulatory requirements of Naracoorte Lucindale Council.
Coonalpyn tanker
The
CFS Heritage Committee has announced the acquisition of a decommissioned CFS
tanker to be added to its fleet of historic vehicles.

former Coonalpyn tanker had been in service since the early 1980s and later
became the property of the Coorong District Council.
The
Coonalpyn tanker will be housed in the CFS
Heritage
Museum
at Naracoorte, adding to its existing fleet of 18 historic CFS
appliances.
