Total fire bans announced for nine South Australian districts ahead of windy conditions

"With the exception of the Mount Lofty Ranges, most of the state is dry and we will see elevated dust across the Mid North, Flinders and potentially the Eyre Peninsula districts.".

Extreme fire danger ratings have been issued for the Lower Eyre Peninsula and Yorke Peninsula districts, while the West Coast, Eastern Eyre Peninsula, Flinders, Mid North, Mount Lofty Ranges, Kangaroo Island and Lower South East all have severe danger ratings.

The CFS has recalled aircraft which will be pre-emptively placed on the Eyre Peninsula and in the Mount Lofty Ranges to support crews, should any fires start.

Mr Turner noted that tomorrow would be the first time South Australia has had nine districts in bans since mid-January.

"We're expecting it on the West Coast late in the afternoon, and then through the Mount Lofty Ranges and into the eastern part of the state late tomorrow evening, and then moving out Wednesday," Mr Turner said
