ISSUED FOR DUNCAN
The Coopers Road fire at Duncan is not yet contained but the fire's spread has been slowed.
The fire is still moving:
In a northerly direction towards the coast.
In a westerly direction towards Snug Cove road.
In a southerly direction towards Colmans road, Berrymans road, North Coast road and the Playford Highway.
In an easterly direction towards King Georges road, Mays road and Ahwans road.
There are still active spots of fire within the fireground.
Plans are currently being developed to secure the fire edge over the coming week. This will include numerous firefighters and appliances traveling to the island from the mainland to assist the local crews.
There will be a couple of operations undertaken today. They will consist of burning current unburnt pockets of vegetation within the fireground while at the same time there will be back burning conducted on the eastern side of the fire (south of Middle River). This will generate an increase of smoke from the fireground.
To ensure your safety, and that of firefighters and other emergency personnel, please do not enter the area unless necessary. Hazards may include reduced visibility due to smoke, fallen trees blocking roads and emergency vehicles operating in the area.
Residents in the area are advised to remain vigilant and to continue checking and following your Bushfire Survival Plan.
