Incident Update for Coopers Road, Duncan fire on Kangaroo Island
ISSUED FOR DUNCAN
The Duncan fire on Kangaroo Island is currently contained - the fire is no longer growing in size, but areas may still be burning within its perimeter.
A southerly wind change across the fireground on Sunday has helped to reduce the risk to the nearby communities.
There is currently no threat to the township of Parndana.
As areas of the fireground may still be very hot, do not enter the fire affected area unless necessary, these areas may not be safe. Hazards may include extreme radiant heat, reduced visibility due to smoke, fallen trees blocking roads, damaged road signage and emergency service personnel working in the area.
Some roads remain closed to the public and tourists, this is continually being reviewed and may be changed at short notice.
An estimated 19,500 hectares have been burnt with a fire perimeter of 122kms.
When returning to homes in the fireground, if you require assistance with animal welfare or injuries, call Primary Industries and Regions SA (PIRSA) on 1800 255 556.
If you see new fires ignite within the fireground please call triple zero (000).
