Coffin Bay National Park Prescribed Burn
ISSUED FOR COFFIN BAY
National Parks and Wildlife Service firefighting crews are being supported by SACFS to manage a prescribed burn at the entrance to Coffin Bay National Park.
Due to dry conditions, fire activity remains at a higher than expected level, but is being managed within their prescribed burn contingency plan. There is no immediate risk to the local community, but the fire may be causing a lot of smoke in the area.
Aerial support will be on standby at Port Lincoln Airport and National Parks and Wildlife Service will have a helicopter assisting in suppression activities.
Crews will remain on site until the incident is declared safe.
