SEVERAL South Australian districts face extended fire bans as hazardous conditions are predicted to continue over the weekend.
TOTAL fire bans have been declared for 11 of the state's 15 weather districts from midnight on Saturday through to midnight on Sunday.
Senior forecaster Tom Boeck says the north and east of the state will experience the highest temperatures on Sunday, with the mercury tipped to reach the mid-40s.It comes after firefighters battled a number of blazes on Saturday amidst similar hot weather, with catastrophic fire danger predicted in the West Coast.An old, abandoned home was swallowed by a scrub fire that burnt through about 20 hectares at Port Germein, 30km from Port Pirie in the Southern Flinders Ranges.About 55 firefighters and aerial tankers started battling the blaze about 2pm and the threat to safety was reduced within a couple of hours.An earlier blaze at Ceduna, in the West Coast, burnt through about 10 hectares of stubble but firefighters managed to contain it by early the afternoon.About 20 firefighters also battled and contained a smaller paddock fire near Minlaton on the Yorke Peninsula."The CFS advises motorists in all these areas to take care, as smoke will reduce visibility," a CFS spokesman said of the fires on Saturday."Residents are urged to remain vigilant and report any outbreak should they occur."The CFS has predicted extreme fire danger in the Mid North, Mount Lofty Ranges, Murraylands, Upper South East and Lower South East regions on Sunday.Severe fire danger is expected in the Northwest Pastoral, West Coast, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Flinders, Yorke Peninsula and Riverland districts.The CFS has urged residents in affected areas to prepare to enact their bushfire survival plans.People have also been warned not to carry out any activity which could create a spark, including mowing or using a drill.Total fire bans continued in 13 districts through to midnight on Saturday, including those listed for Sunday as well as the Lower Eyre Peninsula and Kangaroo Island districts.A cool change is expected to slowly sweep across the state later on Sunday, reaching Adelaide by mid-afternoon.Anda sedang membaca artikel tentang
