Up to four houses have been destroyed by a bushfire in the Adelaide Hills that is burning at Humbug Scrub near Kersbrook, north-east of Adelaide.

Water bombers from Victoria and New South Wales have been called in to help fight a second out-of-control fire in a forest in South Australia's lower south-east. A fire near Tantanoola and Glencoe in the lower south-east has already burnt around 500 hectares.
