Police have cautioned a worker after a fire ignited at Mount Barker today.
Just after 3pm on Wednesday 30 January, police and CFS crews attended a construction site on the corner of Eagle Street and Aldrin Street after reports of a fire in an adjacent paddock.
CFS extinguished the fire within minutes and no properties were damaged.
Enquiries by police revealed a construction worker had been using a concrete cutter (without a Schedule 10 Permit) which sparked the fire.
The 25-year-old from Smithfield was reported for using a cutting tool without a Schedule 10 Permit and issued with an adult caution.
Members of the public are reminded that certain restrictions are in place during the Fire Danger Season and on Total Fire Days. For more information regarding these restrictions please visit the CFS website –
