Lightning believed to have sparked bushfires south of Adelaide

Fires close to Adelaide might have been caused by lightning, the Country Fire Service says.

Water bombers were deployed to tackle some of the blazes, including one near Monarto Zoo outside of Murray Bridge, which blackened scrub and grassland.

About 100 firefighters fought a total of 15 outbreaks, including at Wistow, Milang, Meadows, Mount Compass, Sellicks Hill and Kangarilla.
