Wilmington Scrub Fire
Issued for WILMINGTON, MELROSE, NECTOR BROOK and MAMBRAY CREEK near the Mount Remarkable National Park in the Flinders Ranges.
The Wilmington fire is now contained, with today's cooler conditions providing firefighters, aircraft and Farm Fire Units the opportunity to move activities towards monitoring the incident's perimeter.
The Wilmington fire is expected to continue to burn for some time. The landscape remains hot and dry with limited chance of change for the remainder of the bushfire season.
The continued monitoring of the fireground will be undertaken by Department for Environment and Water and local CFS crews, with many of the personnel from across the state who were deployed to assist now heading home.
We thank everyone for their efforts in supporting the management of the Wilmington fire so far and will continue to closely monitor the situation and have additional firefighting resources on standby as required.
While there is no immediate threat to lives and property, we encourage residents to remain vigilant and stay informed about local updates by visiting the dedicated webpage for fire information and preparedness tips: cfs.sa.gov.au/wilmington-fire
