The Country Fire Service is warning residents to be aware of smoke as it responds to a scrub fire on the lower Fleurieu Peninsula.

Severe fire danger is forecast for the northwest pastoral, west coast, mid north and Mount Lofty ranges districts, where the bans are in place.
Hot and very dry weather is expected throughout the weekend.
