SA bushfires leave 1000 without power

SA Power Networks says more than 1000 properties in the Adelaide Hills remain without power.

More than 1000 properties in the Adelaide Hills remain without power because of the impact of the major blaze still burning out of control.

SA Power Networks says 859 properties at Cudlee Creek, Houghton, Lower Hermitage, Paracombe and Upper Hermitage have no electricity.

A further 171 properties in the Gould Creek, Humbug Scrub and Sampson Flat areas are also without service.

SA Power Networks says its crews are currently working on safe access to the fire grounds and detailed inspections of power assets will be required before repairs can be conducted and power restored.

No estimate of the time when services will be restored has been provided.
