23.01.2022 ***UPDATE issued at 2.31pm*** The CFS has advised that the Templers fire is now contained. Elevated fire danger risk requires members of the public to remain vigilant. ... *** A BUSHFIRE EMERGENCY WARNING has been issued for an uncontrolled fire burning at Templers near Roseworthy. Please read the following message issued by the CFS: This fire may pose a threat to lives directly in its path. Act now. Leave, if the path is clear to a safer place, as it will soon be too dangerous to drive. If you cannot leave, identify where you will seek shelter from the bushfire. Heat from the fire will kill you. Do not enter this area as conditions are dangerous. The TEMPLERS, HORROCKS HIGHWAY fire is uncontrolled. This grass fire is burning in a South Easterly towards ROSEWORTHY, SANDY CREEK, FREELING and LYNDOCH. Conditions are continually changing. For updates listen to your local ABC radio station on a battery powered radio, visit the CFS website https://www.cfs.sa.gov.au or call the Bushfire Information Hotline 1800 362 361. Homes that have been built to withstand a bushfire and are prepared to the highest level may provide safety. You may lose power, water, phone and data connections. Fire crews are responding but you should not expect a firefighter at your door. WHAT TO DO: Check and follow your Bushfire Survival Plan. Protect yourself from the fire’s heat put on protective clothing. Tell family or friends of your plans. IF YOU ARE LEAVING: Leave now, don’t delay. Roads may become blocked or access may change. Smoke will reduce visibility. Secure your pets for travel. If you become stuck in your car, park away from bushes, cover yourself, get onto the floor as the windows may break from the intense heat. IF YOU CAN’T LEAVE: Identify a spot to shelter in, with more than one exit. Keep moving so you are away from the heat of the fire. Move flammable materials such as doormats, wheelie bins and outdoor furniture away from your house. Close doors and windows to keep smoke out. Bring pets inside and restrain them. If you have sprinklers, turn them on to wet the area. If the building catches fire, go to an area already burnt. Check around you for anything burning.
