FIRE crews are continuing to monitor a bushfire north of Minlaton on Yorke Peninsula in South Australia.
The fire broke out around 1pm (CST) near Curramulka, eight kilometres west of the township near Gunbarrel and Spicers Road on Friday.
The Country Fire Service (CFS) said in a statement early on Friday night the threat had subsided, but crews were continuing to monitor the blaze.
Five aerial water bombers, about 180 firefighters and 39 fire trucks were involved in battling the fire.
"At one stage it moved rapidly south towards Minlaton, destroying a hay shed and has burnt about 555 hectares," the CFS said.
"Local residents are advised that although the threat has now been reduced, to be aware that some risks may still be present, including smoke that may reduce visibility, falling trees and embers."
The Minlaton to Maitland Road remains closed in both directions.
