It was started in 1882 with the passing of the Fire Brigades Act, then called the South Australian Fire Brigade (SAFB). In 1981 the service was renamed to SAMFS when it became government funded.
The MFS has 35 fire stations in Adelaide and across South Australia in major rural centres. It also has one marine vessel. The MFS are on constant standby 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The MFS Headquarters are in their Adelaide Station. This is where the MFS respond to CFS stations to aid their MFS trucks.
