Incident Update
The CFS is continuing to respond to a crop and scrub fire approximately 21km north-east of Meningie in the Coorong, South Australia.
Approximately 35 firefighters on 10 trucks have been working to stop the spread of the fire into surrounding scrub. Crews were supported by SA Police, Farm Fire Units and 6 aircraft, including firebombers and observational aircraft. Heavy machinery is being used to construct a containment line around the fire, which is burning in inaccessible terrain.
The fire has burned approximately 64 hectares after starting at 2:30pm this afternoon. Crews will remain on scene overnight and into tomorrow until the fire has been contained.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined.
Emergency services may be working on and around roads in the area, with smoke potentially reducing visibility. To ensure your safety and that of firefighters and other emergency personnel who are working in the area, please do not enter the area unless necessary.
