Neuarpurr CFA

By Louise Hicks Neuarpurr CFA brigade is on the Vic/SA border east of the Frances township. The brigade is made up of volunteers who attend emergencies such as wildfires, motor vehicle accidents and flood events in Victoria, and assist our neighbouring SA CFS brigades whenever needed. We thank The News for the grant money received through “The News Gives Back program” it is greatly appreciated by our brigade.
