Haystack fire at Tintinara - 16 October 2024

Shortly after 7:00 pm, CFS firefighters quickly responded with three trucks and a farm fire unit to a haystack fire in Tintinara, located in the state’s south-east. On arrival, they found approximately 250 large square hay bales in a shed fully ablaze.

Although one tractor was lost, their swift actions in moving other machinery to safety helped limit the estimated losses to $500,000.

Crews will monitor the situation and ensure safety, as the hay is expected to continue to burn for up to two days.
