Fire and emergency crews responded to a fire within an Australian Post Business Hub in Salisbury South last night.

Fire crews from the Metropolitan Fire Service were called to reports of a fire within a post office on Rundle Street in Salisbury after multiple triple zero calls were received shortly before 10:30pm last night.

Upon arrival, crews found the large warehouse facility well involved in fire. Fire crews got to work with high-pressure hose lines and breathing apparatus to protect nearby exposures properly. Fire crews faced changing conditions, with fire containment strategies changing due to the conditions of the building.

Multiple electronic trikes were also involved in the fire with firefighters. Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control within 45 minutes, and an additional 30 minutes to fully extinguish the fire within the warehouse. Fire crews remained on scene overnight extinguishing hotspots and monitoring for possible ignition of batteries.

Fire crews were supported by South Australia Police and South Australia Ambulance Service. Fire Cause investigators will attend the scene to assess the scene

The condition of materials within the storage facility is unknown.

Fire and emergency crews responded to a Unit fire in Adelaide today.

Fire crews from the Metropolitan Fire Service were called to reports of a unit on fire on Old Treasury Lane in Adelaide, shortly before 10:30 AM this morning.

Upon arrival, they found the top-story unit issuing heavy black smoke with flames visible from the window. Due to the large risk of spread to nearby buildings and with occupants reported inside, a major response was deployed to assist in bringing the blaze under control. Fire crews worked through the building to clear the units and extinguish the fire.

Firefighters were able to bring the fire under control in 10 minutes, and took around 30 minutes to fully extinguish the fire within the building. The rapid response from firefighters is to thank for the effort in preventing the spread to nearby units within the housing block.

South Australia Police and South Australia Ambulance Service attended the scene and assisted in extricating people from the unit before firefighters arrived. Three police officers were treated for smoke inhalation on the scene.

Police have confirmed that an 18-year-old woman with no fixed address was arrested at the scene and is expected to be charged with Arson. Fire Cause Investigators are attending the scene to determine the cause and examine the scene as investigations continue.

Anyone with information that may assist the investigation is urged to contact police. Information can be provided anonymously to Crime Stoppers online at www.crimestopperssa.com.au or by calling 1800 333 000. Quote reference 222621.

A rescue was sparked today after a car came off the road at Craigburn Farm

Fire crews, alongside Police and Ambulance, responded to Gartrell Boulevard just after 9am this morning after reports of a car that had rolled down an embankment. Crews arrived to find the vehicle down the embankment in a tricky situation, with the owners of the car reportedly travelling down the trail exploring before becoming stuck.

Fortunately, thanks to the work of first responders, the vehicle was able to be stabilised and removed from the area and put back onto the road where it belongs. Fortunately, no occupants of the vehicle were injured.

Coromandel Country Fire Service says: "Exploring our local area is a great way to get outdoors, but if you’re travelling by vehicle, please stick to designated roads and tracks that are open and suitable for vehicle access."

Fire and emergency crews responded to a house fire in Joslin.

Fire crews from the Metropolitan Fire Service were called to reports of a house on fire on Fourth Avenue, Joslin, shortly after 3:15 PM this afternoon.

Upon arrival, firefighters found significant smoke and flames coming from the property. Given the intensity of the fire, firefighters opted for a defensive strategy to protect nearby properties. Firefighters also faced challenges, including collapsing ceilings and walls on all sides of the house and water issues at multiple points along the street.

The South Australian Country Fire Service has today unveiled its brand new urban response capability.

This rollout includes 15 brand new urban-based fire appliances, representing the first phase of a $10 million investment aimed at enhancing firefighting capabilities across the state. CFS volunteers respond to a wide variety of incidents, not just grassfires. Last financial year, they responded to over 18,700 incidents, including 252 structure fires and 150 hazardous material incidents.

The new rollout features 9 HazMat Urban Rural Pumpers (URPs) and 6 Multipurpose Pumpers. These appliances are equipped with enhanced crew safety equipment, a capacity of 2,000 litres of water, and specialised storage capabilities designed to accommodate HazMat, rescue, or urban equipment. The new urban trucks provide crews with improved and safer equipment, featuring increased pumping capacities and standardised equipment for rescue and HazMat operations, thus enhancing the overall urban response capability of firefighters.

In the coming months, these 15 trucks will be delivered to communities along the Eyre Peninsula, Yorke Peninsula, Mid North, Limestone Coast, and Adelaide Hills. This deployment will improve their ability to respond to incidents, ensuring that communities do not have to wait longer for access to specialised equipment.

The new pumpers will be stationed at Stirling, Dalkeith, Aldinga, Athelstone, Waikerie, and Roxby Downs, each tailored with equipment suitable for local needs. The URP appliances will be allocated to Clare, Penola, Willunga, Oakbank/Balhannah, Kadina, Bordertown, Middleback, Yorketown, and Strathalbyn, carrying HazMat gear that allows them to effectively respond to hazardous material incidents.

Warnings and evacuations were issued for a structure fire involving hazardous materials in Port Adelaide.

Fire and Emergency crews responded to reports of a shed fire involving sulphur at Berth 29 along Moonta Road in Port Adelaide's Industrial Zone yesterday. Fire crews arrived to find the shed with smoke issuing and evacuations taking place. Fire crews got to work searching for the location of the fire within the building and attempting to locate a person reported inside the building.

Firefighters using breathing apparatus conducted searches throughout the shed, attempting to locate the person while battling challenging conditions inside the shed. Fortunately, crews were able to locate the person within the building before bringing them out to safety. Due to the sulphur involved in the fire, sulphur dioxide was generated, a toxic gas which posed a risk to the safety of the nearby community and the firefighters' health.

Hazardous Material evacuations were implemented for 1km around the incident due to the public health risk posed by the gas. Due to effective work by fire crews, the fire was contained to the shed of origin, preventing it from spreading to further infrastructure around the facility. Crews used specialist firefighting tactics to extinguish the fire, utilising a foam blanket to help suppress and contain the fire burning inside the Sulphur. Due to these works, the fire has now been extinguished.
Fire crews remained on scene overnight, conducting thermal imaging assessments, managing hotspots and continuing atmospheric monitoring.

2 people were transported to hospital with smoke inhalation as a result of the fire. The cause of the fire is currently unknown. Road closures were in place but have since been revoked. Warning zones have now been cleared

A "Leave Immediately" warning has been issued for a structure fire involving hazardous materials in Port Adelaide.

Fire and emergency crews are currently on the scene of the structure fire on Moonta Road. The fire crews were called shortly before 10:15 AM after reports of a shed fire with sulphur burning inside. The fire is currently contained to the shed, which was used to store Sulphur. Metropolitan Fire Service crews remain at the scene this afternoon continuing to work to extinguish the fire and manage the Hazardous Material Risk.

Multiple fire crews, along with South Australia Police and the South Australian Ambulance Service, have been deployed to this incident. Specialist aerial and hazardous materials (HazMat) vehicles have also been deployed to help control the fire.

A "Leave Immediately" order is in place, and a 1 km exclusion zone has been established around the area due to a significant amount of smoke. This situation is still unfolding, with the latest information updated at 2:15 PM on August 6, 2026.
