More than 100 firefighters and three aerial water bombers are battling an out-of-control bushfire near Port Lincoln in South Australia.
The SA Country Fire Service (CFS) says the fire, which is a risk to lives and homes, is burning at Sleaford Mere, west of Tulka.
It is travelling in a southerly direction towards Fishery Bay and is burning in scrub.
Residents are advised to take shelter when the fire arrives and to protect themselves from the fire's heat.
CFS state co-ordinator Malim Watts said the serious fire was "a weather driven event".
