Emu Flat Road Incident Update
ISSUED FOR KEITH
A Reduced Threat Message has been issued for this fire and surrounding areas. This fire had the potential to impact on the Duke's Highway and the Adelaide-Melbourne rail line.
A quick response from CFS crews, heavily supported by Farm Fire Units has been able to bring the fire under control. One house was threatened, but has been saved, although a number of sheds have been impacted.
Crews are working with the support of machinery to further strengthen control lines and complete mopping up to make the area safe ahead potentially worsening fire weather conditions later today. Crews will remain on scene patrolling the fire area until the fire is made safe and is handed back to local land holders.
