Ardrossan HazMat

The CFS is responding to a trailer fire adjacent to the grain bunker facility in Ardrossan on the Yorke Peninsula.

Upon arrival, firefighters found an enclosed trailer venting smoke from inside.

CFS volunteers are cooling the trailer externally to reduce any impact on its contents and to prevent the fire from spreading to the nearby grain bunkers.

Crews are actively monitoring the atmosphere around the incident to ensure public safety, with some localised smoke drifting around the area.

Specialist Hazardous Material (HazMat) crews from Kadina and Nuriootpa are assisting with the incident to provide specialised HazMat equipment.

Under controlled conditions, crews will open the trailer to investigate the extent of the fire and to ensure the fire is completely extinguished.

Crews are expected to remain on scene for the next few hours.
