The South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service (SAMFS) is the fire service for metropolitan and urban South Australia, as well as large townships. The Metropolitan Fire Service is constituted under the ''Fire and Emergency Services Act''. The MFS has 36 fire stations and over 1,000 personnel in Adelaide and across South Australia in major rural centres. It also has one marine vessel.

History

The South Australian Fire Brigade was formed in 1882, following the passing of the ''Fire Brigades Act''. In 1981 the service was renamed South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service when it became government funded.
