Mulch Fire

ISSUED FOR LANGHORNE CREEK

Currently 14 CFS trucks and approximately 50 CFS firefighters are onsite at the Langhorne Creek mulch fire, located at a green waste facility along Kangaroo Road.
Crews are actively working to ensure that the fire does not spread into nearby green waste and adjacent grass land.

As crews work to open up the mulch heaps with the aid of the site management team and their heavy machinery, an increase of smoke and flame activity may be seen by members of the community traveling on adjacent roads. This is expected during firefighting activity and although there is no immediate threat to the local area or community, road users are advised to use caution on the roads as smoke may reduce visibility.

No roads have been closed around this incident, however, this may change at short notice. Continue to monitor www.police.sa.gov.au/your-safety/road-safety/road-closures
