SA bushfires contained

The Country Fire Service has contained about 20 scrub fires and grassfires across South Australia.

About 20 scrub fires and grassfires have been contained throughout South Australia as extreme weather conditions caused problems for fire crews.

The worst incidents were at Auldana, in the Adelaide Hills and at Roseworthy, north of the city, where the Country Fire Service on Wednesday urged residents to activate their bushfire survival plans.

Two fires threatened homes in the area before being controlled.

Weather conditions across SA were expected to become moderate by Thursday, with temperatures falling back from the high 30s into the low 20s.
