Country Fire Service firefighters were called to extinguish a haystack fire near Tantanoola last week.
On Wednesday evening emergency services were alerted to smoke from forestry cameras located at Mount Burr and Carpenters Rocks.
Five crews with 25 firefighters found approximately 400 hay bales, around a hectare of grass and a Manitou Telehandler (forklift) alight on arrival with an estimated loss of $90,000.
Crews remained on scene spreading out the hay to extinguish hot spots which caused smoke over German Flat, Tantanoola and Burrungule areas.
Volunteer firefighters remained on scene into the night and the following day due to the predicted upcoming heat, before continuing to monitor the site for several days.
