SA: Memorial service to remember CFS volunteers

Country Fire Service volunteers killed in action in South Australia will be remembered
today .. during a special service to mark the 23rd anniversary of the Ash Wednesday bushfires
in 1983.

CFS staff and volunteers will gather at the Mount Lofty Summit .. to mark the day when
28 people were killed in the fires which swept through the Adelaide Hills and SA's south-east.

CFS deputy chief officer ANDREW LAWSON says today's service carries added sadness ..

following last year's Eyre Peninsula fire which claimed nine lives.
