[Intro]

[verse]

In St Arnaud when the evening shadows fall,

Smoke rising from a backyard can alarm the town whole,

Out beyond the wheat fields or a fire in a drum,

If nobody’s registered it, the volunteers will come.

CFA sounds the siren, boots hit the floor,

Leaving warm homes behind to answer one call more,

But a simple heads-up before the flames climb high,

Helps keep the trucks ready when real danger fills the sky.

So whether it’s a burnoff or a backyard fire tonight,

Take a minute to register before you strike the light,

’Cause every false alarm pulls good people from their day,

From their jobs and from their families when they rush away.

Here in St Arnaud we take care of our own,

From the farms out on the edge to the houses in the town,

Register your fire and lend the volunteers a hand,

So the CFA stays ready to protect this country land.
