Hazmat incident at Barmera - 12 April 2025

CFS with support from the SES and Berri Barmera Council have contained a hazmat incident at Barmera in the state’s Riverland.

The incident on Lakeside Drive at Barmera was attended by two trucks with eight volunteers.

When arriving at the scene at 9:30am, crews found a raw sewerage leak, which was soon contained by sandbags obtained from council.

The scene is now safe, but CFS volunteers will remain at the location for at least another hour to complete the final tidying up process.
