Emergency Services Minister Tony Piccolo has sent his thoughts to those affected by the Pinery fire.
“One of the areas most affected is in my electorate, Wasleys, and the pictures have been devastating,” he said.
Mr Piccolo said it was the first big fire he had experienced where he had known the people affected personally.
He was shocked by the sheer size and speed of flames.
”I’d like to pass on my thanks to all the volunteers and anyone who has been working to control this fire,” he said.
“What has been really heartening to see is that people who have been personally affected are out there fighting and helping their neighbours.
“That’s the spirit of country SA.”
