ISSUED FOR MINLATON near Burton Rd, Minlaton Rd and Bowden Rd.

The SA Country Fire Service has issued a Bushfire Advice Message to those in the area south east of the Minlaton township.

While the risk from this fire has lessened, flare-ups are still occurring. There is a wind change due in the next two hours, which may increase fire behaviour. The fire may pick up again and move in an Easterly direction.

Multiple CFS Volunteers, local Farm Fire units and aircraft are still on scene at this fire.

You should not enter this area, as Emergency Services vehicles are still operating in this area and it is unsafe.
