Incident Update - CUDLEE CREEK - Residents to remain vigilant
ISSUED FOR CUDLEE CREEK
A Bushfire Advice Message is current for the Cudlee Creek fire.
There has been flareups throughout the previous days, with crews attending to breakouts and undertaking asset protection, with the assistance of aircraft.
Thermal imaging equipment is being used to identify hot spots so that crews can strategically target areas of concern, particularly on the western perimeter ahead of forecast temperature increases and wind changes.
Total Fire Ban conditions are forecast for Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
Temperatures will remain hot, with lightening and windy condition forecast for Monday.
Any localised winds, along with the forecast weather will increase the chances of fire outbreaks.
There are large areas of unburnt vegetation within the fire ground. These areas may be impacted by fire if an outbreak occurs. Everyone should have a plan so they know what to do when a fire threatens.
Those inside the fire ground need to be vigilant for potential hotspots and re-ignitions. Those outside the fire ground should activate their Bushfire Survival Plan. If you don't have a plan make one now!
There is a significant police presence on the fire ground with additional patrols active.
Please be advised that road access is being continually reviewed and roads may close at short notice. Refer to www.traffic.sa.gov.au for the latest information.
Skip bins have been provided in some towns for the disposal of household waste only. Community members needing assistance with removing the remains of animals can call Primary Industries and Regions SA on 1800 255 556.
