INCIDENT UPDATE FOR DEEPWATER FIRE

ISSUED FOR DEEPWATER

The Deepwater fire has burnt approx. 2300 hectares of scrub and grass in private land near Keith in the Upper South East.

CFS continues to work with local land holders and Department of Environment and Water (DEW) to maintain control lines around this fire. Sandy and swampy areas are continuing to pose some challenges, significant resourcing is in place to manage those.

Due to the heavy fuels that the fire has passed through, there are still some smouldering tree stumps and logs within the burnt ground that are producing smoke.

For updates visit the CFS website (www.cfs.sa.gov.au) or phone the Bushfire Information Hotline on 1800 362 361.

This message will be updated as the situation changes or before: 21/11/2020 18:00
