Report any fire that is unattended to 000. Those in the area of the fire need to remain aware of local conditions and monitor the situation. The Sturt Hwy is now open with speed restrictions in place. Drivers are urged to remain vigilant as fire crews are still working along the roadside. More updates will be provided as the situation changes. A Community Meeting will be held at the Kapunda Institute Hall today at 1.00pm.
