Country Fire Service

23 Mr ODENWALDER (Elizabeth) (20 February 2020). What were the average response times for CFS taskings in each of the relevant categories, for each month from January 2018 to January 2020 inclusive?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Police, Emergency Services and Correctional Services, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I am advised:

South Australian Country Fire Service (CFS) brigades are required to lodge an AIRS report (Australian Incident Reporting System) after each response. Whilst the AIRS report allows for recording of response times the CFS does not mandate that Brigades report these as it would not be a complete data set and would not provide an appropriate picture across the state for CFS responses.
