SA bushfire threat downgraded

The Country Fire Service says the safety threat posed by a bushfire at Finniss on South Australia's Fleurieu Peninsula has reduced.

The fire was burning in grass near the Finniss to Clayton Road and Landseer Road on Friday afternoon.

While the threat has reduced, residents are being warned that smoke may reduce visibility and there may be falling trees.

"Check your property for any fires and embers - particularly in roof spaces, under decks, raised floors and in gutters," the CFS said.
