Coomandook haystack fire
The CFS is continuing to monitor the Coomandook haystack fire at Werrimbrook Road 30km south of Tailem Bend in the Coorong Region, South Australia.
Smoke will continue to be seen in the area as the haystack continues to burn until it self-extinguishes. A mineral earth break has been created around the fire to prevent it from spreading to adjoining crop stubble.
The CFS can confirm the hay storage shed and farm machinery stored inside the shed have been impacted by fire. Fire Cause Investigators have deemed the fire to be not suspicious.
Smoke may continue to impact roads in the area and may cause visibility to be reduced. To ensure your safety and that of firefighters and other emergency personnel who are working in the area, please do not enter the area unless necessary.
