BREAKING: Authorities have issued an emergency level bushfire alert for Deep Creek, Silverton, Blowhole Beach Road and Cape Jervis on the Fleurieu Peninsula.

CFS: “Take shelter now in a solid building. You are now in danger. Do not delay. Do not leave or enter this area in a vehicle or on foot. It is too late to leave as the roads will not be safe.

Conditions are dangerous and firefighters are now unable to prevent the fire spreading. Shelter before the fire arrives as heat can kill you well before the flames reach you.

Do you need to review your asthma action plan?

Asthma symptoms can worsen in spring and summer as the pollen count increases.

It's important to keep a digital copy of your asthma action plan on your phone so it’s accessible.

If you’re the parent or carer of a child with asthma, remember to provide a copy of the plan to your child's school, preschool or childcare facility.

Heatstroke happens when the body temperature rises above 40.5 degrees Celsius. Immediate first aid is needed to lower the body temperature as quickly as possible.

To treat heatstroke:
• If you notice symptoms in yourself or others, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.
• If the person is unconscious, do not give them aspirin or paracetamol
• move them to a cool area and keep them still
• give them small sips of fluid.

If you can, bring their temperature down by:
• sponging them with cool water
• putting them in a cool shower
• spraying them with cool water from a garden hose
• soaking their clothes with cool water
• placing cool packs around them.
