The CFS has praised the exceptional work of its volunteer firefighters for containing a fire in reeds and grass, in hard-to-access terrain along Lake Alexandrina.
The incident at Wellington in the Murraylands yesterday, Wednesday 6 March, took hold late in the morning, with at least five trucks and two dozen firefighters working to contain the blaze.
Crews from Murray Bridge brigade supported Jervois and Tailem Bend appliances in containing the fire with back-burning.
“Due to the exceptional efforts of firefighters, the fire has been successfully contained and was prevented from spreading further,” CFS media said at 3.40pm.
No damage to life or assets have been reported – though there was a smoke warning amid the incident.
