Incident Update
ISSUED FOR BUNDALEER NORTH
The SA Country Fire Service (CFS) advises people in and around the area of Bundaleer North near Jamestown in the Mid North of South Australia, that CFS crews continue working to extinguish the forest fire that started in the afternoon of Friday 20 October 2023. The fire is currently contained to 34ha burning in forest plantation.
The community can expect light smoke to drift in a North Easterly direction towards RM Williams Way and Jamestown for the coming days. Stumps and trees left from previous plantation rows continue to burn. Members of the community are urged to take care if in the area or driving nearby. Due to the nature of plantation fires, spot fires may start. If you are in the area and see an unattended fire please call 000.
Approximately 35 CFS firefighters on six trucks remain on scene with local Farm Fire Units and heavy machinery. Firefighters have worked with heavy machinery operators to install mineral earth breaks around the perimeter of the fire which is now completed. Crews continue to extinguish hotspots within the containment lines.
There are currently no road closures in place for this fire.
