Reminder about TOTAL FIRE BANS declared for today

The media and public are reminded that TOTAL FIRE BANS have been declared for today in the following districts:

• Northwest Pastoral
• West Coast
• Eastern Eyre Peninsula
• Flinders
• Mid North
• Mount Lofty Ranges, and
• Riverland

Very hazardous fire weather conditions are predicted in these districts and the TOTAL FIRE BAN applies until midnight tonight.

The public are reminded that burn-offs and open fires are not permitted on TOTAL FIRE BAN Days without a permit from their Local Council. Landowners are also asked to adhere to local harvest codes of practice.

People are reminded to ensure that they have their Bushfire Survival Plan in place. Leaving early, before a fire starts is your safest option.
