MEDIA RELEASE: CAMBRAI BUSHFIRE UPDATE
4:30 PM 11 January 2006

SA Country Fire Service volunteers are yet to contain a fire burning west of Cambrai and Sedan in the northeastern Mount Lofty Ranges.

More than 80 CFS volunteers and 15 fire tankers are at the scene of the blaze, which started shortly after 12.30pm today off Pinehutt Road.

Steep terrain and scrub has made it difficult for crews to gain access to the fire, which has so far burnt more than 330 hectares of grass and scrub.

Six aircraft are also in attendance, including three fixed-wing and two helicopter water bombers, as well as the Rescue 53 helicopter which is providing support to ground crews as an aerial platform.

A Bushfire Information Message was issued shortly after 2pm for the blaze advising residents that the fire did not pose any direct threat but was generating a significant amount of smoke.

The message is still current and advises residents to close all doors and windows and stay indoors if residents suffer from any respiratory conditions.

Motorists are being urged to avoid the area, which includes the Angaston to Sedan Road in the area of Sedan Hill where the fire has crossed in several locations.

The cause of the fire is still being investigated.

CAMBRAI BUSHFIRE UPDATEUpdate on the bushfire at Cambrai
10:00 AM 12 January 2006

SA Country Fire Service volunteers are still fighting a fire burning west of Cambrai and Sedan in the northeastern Mount Lofty Ranges.

Around 60 CFS volunteer firefighters spent the night fighting the blaze in difficult terrain, with additional volunteers responding to assist with firefighting operations today.

Operations today will concentrate on containing the fire, with firefighters continuing to consolidate control lines and black out the burnt area.

The difficult terrain has seen firefighting operations often undertaken on foot using knapsacks and rakehoes.

The fire has burnt just over 1 600 hectares of scrub, grass and crop since it started just after 12:30pm yesterday. Some fencing has also been destroyed.

At the peak of the blaze, around 150 firefighters and 26 appliances were on the fireground supported by a number of aerial waterbombing aircraft.

The intensity of the fire decreased overnight as a result of a drop in temperature and humidity however the fire is still active within control lines.

The control lines are currently located at the Sedan Hill Road, Three Chain Road and Pine Hut Road with a mineral earth control line having been established on the western flank of the fire. The mineral earth control line is being reinforced this morning with retardant in anticipation of a wind change this afternoon.

Question, Do We Really Need To Remove The Personal Details From Pager Posts, Considering That The Same Information Is Available From The Pager Site Itself & This Site Has Links To The Pager Site. What Are We Hiding?
