Taylorville Fires
The CFS advises that after some 40 hours of tireless work by CFS Volunteers, supported by Department of Environment and Water crews and heavy machinery, the Taylorville Fires are now all contained. Through the efforts of crews on the ground, these fires have been contained to a combined total of 376 hectares, saving further loss to sensitive pastoral lands and impact to threatened wildlife in the area.
These 4 fires have been burning in remote and difficult to access areas, on pastoral lands north of Waikerie in the Riverland since the evening of Monday 24 November 2025.
These fires were caused by the dry lightning event across the Riverland on Monday afternoon, and are not deemed to be suspicious.
Firefighters will continue to monitor these fires over the next several days to ensure that they extinguished, however they do not currently pose a risk to the community.
