A bushfire which threatened a number of towns north of Adelaide, as it burnt through grassland and crops, has been contained.
An emergency warning was issued at one stage on Friday for the blaze as it burnt towards Roseworthy, Sandy Creek, Freeling and Lyndoch in hot and windy conditions.
However, the CFS reduced that to a bushfire advice message after establishing control lines around the fire.
There was no immediate indication of any property losses.
The blaze came as temperatures across SA soared, with the mercury hitting 40C in Adelaide and pushed into the mid-40s in some regional centres.
The CFS declared an extreme bushfire risk for the Adelaide Hills, with six other districts considered extreme.
Similarly hot conditions will continue into Saturday, with Adelaide to have a top of 38C, before a cooler, southerly change pushes through.
