SA fire bans as Kangaroo Island burns February 18, 2013 - 9:47AM Total fire bans have been put in place for eight districts in South Australia, amid fears a fire at a woodchip timber mill on Kangaroo Island could spread. The CFS says bans have been declared for the Northwest Pastoral, West Coast, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Lower Eyre Peninsula, Mount Lofty Ranges, Yorke Peninsula, Kangaroo Island and Lower South East districts, as the state faces a hot and windy Monday. The Kangaroo Island blaze at Timber Creek pine sawmill has been burning since Saturday night. CFS regional officer Brenton Hastie said the fire had been contained, but there was concern it could spread to a pine forest in the severe fire conditions predicted for Monday. A community meeting for local residents has been organised to provide updated information. The temperature is expected to reach 39 degrees Celsius in Adelaide, and the high 30s and low 40s for the rest of the state. Police have reminded the public of the dangers of bushfires and asked them to be vigilant. Police patrols, as part of Operation Nomad, will target bushfire-prone areas across the state.
