Huge wildfire rages in southern Australia

South Australia premier Jay Weatherill said hundreds of firefighters have taken advantage of milder conditions in recent days to attempt to contain the blaze, which has razed 31,000 acres of countryside in hills north-west of the state capital, Adelaide.
He says 29 people had been injured or admitted to hospital with conditions such as severe asthma since the fire started on Friday.
Network Ten television news reported that the only serious casualty is a farmer who suffered suspected spinal injuries protecting his property.
