On the way, northeast, out of Tanunda is this modern looking Firehouse with a large tesellated paved forecourt. This orange-brown brick building with a corrugated iron hip roof has two large perspex panel-lift doors, for the two medium-sized fire fighting vehicles housed here.
The adjoined southern part of the building houses the 'residence' and training area (behind a native flora landscaped garden.) From the website link below:
"The MFS has delivered emergency services to the Tanunda community since the station was established by the SA Fire Brigade on 18 February 1919.
