SA fire out of control but weather better FIRE crews are hoping cooler conditions will help them control a bushfire in the Adelaide Hills. The fire in grassland at Rockleigh, east of Adelaide, has scorched almost 1500 hectares, endangering farming properties in the area. A Country Fire Service spokeswoman says about 160 firefighters are establishing a perimeter around the fire, which broke out just after midday on Tuesday. She says crews will take advantage of cooler conditions and milder winds on Wednesday to try to stop the fire's spread. Although no properties are under direct threat, local residents have still been advised to activate their bushfire survival plans.
