Share on Twitter Two homes are feared to be either damaged or destroyed by an uncontrolled bushfire in the hills southeast of Adelaide. The Cherry Garden blaze sparked an emergency warning on Monday morning, which was downgraded to watch and act by mid-morning. Residents at nine locations in the Mount Lofty Ranges are being told the dangerous fire may threaten their safety and to leave the area if they're not prepared. The blaze is burning in a northeasterly direction but difficult wind conditions may cause it to change direction unexpectedly, South Australia's Country Fire Service (CFS) says.
