In the early hours of this morning, Wednesday 2 April, CFS attended a green waste fire in Langhorne Creek, south east of Adelaide. 

Three CFS trucks with approximately 15 firefighters, supported by industry brigades from the waste facility, have contained the fire which will continue to burn for the coming days. The site has now been handed back to the land owner. 

Smoke is likely to continue drifting in the area and can be seen from surrounding communities.

CFS had earlier issued a smoke warning:
