More homes destroyed in bush fire

Cool change expected to assist firefighters in containing disaster More than 30 homes are feared destroyed as firefighters battle the worst bush fire in South Australia for three decades, with officials warning on Sunday of a threat to live seven as weather conditions improve.

The state's Country Fire Service said the intense fire, which broke out on Friday in the Mount Lofty Ranges east of Adelaide, was continuing to burn in all directions at Sampson Flat, threatening lives.

But a cool change on Sunday was expected to help them work to contain the fire ahead of a forecast rise in temperatures again on Wednesday.
