Taylorville Fires
The CFS continues to respond to four grass and scrub fires burning on pastoral lands north of Waikerie in the Riverland. These fires are burning in remote and difficult to access areas, and are expected to burn for a number of days to come. These fires do not currently pose a risk to the community, however are causing a large amount of smoke to drift across the Riverland and are visible from quite a distance away.
CFS firefighters supported by heavy machinery worked overnight to establish control lines around the largest of the fires at Taylorville, crews will continue to strengthen this control line today, and this fire is likely to be contained by the end of the day Tuesday 25 November 2025.
CFS firefighters supported by heavy machinery and Department of Environment and Water crews will work over coming days to bring all these fires under control.
It is believed that these fires were caused by dry lightning across the Riverland yesterday afternoon, and are not deemed to be suspicious.
