Bushfire still burning south of Adelaide

A BUSHFIRE continues to burn in a pine forest south of Adelaide but firefighters are hopeful of bringing it under control.

The Country Fire Service (CFS) said the blaze had destroyed about 25 hectares at Wattle Flat by Tuesday afternoon and was being attacked on both the ground and from the air.

It was sparked as temperatures across the state surged into the high 30s ahead of a cooler change moving in from the west.

The Bureau of Meteorology expected the change to reach Adelaide late on Tuesday, dropping maximum temperatures on Wednesday into the mid-20s.

The CFS said a shift in winds with the change could help push the fire front back on itself.

While there were some farms in the vicinity of the fire, no properties were under immediate threat.

The CFS said crews were also responding to a bushfire late on Tuesday in the Onkaparinga area of the Adelaide Hills.

Local residents were urged to follow their bushfire survival plans.
