CFS advises that the bushfire that started in the vicinity of Duck Ponds and impacted on the western outskirts of Port Lincoln is now contained. Fire activity and weather conditions on the fireground have abated with decreasing winds, rising relative humidity and low temperatures continuing to aid firefighting efforts.
