A total fire ban has been declared for South Australia on Tuesday ahead of catastrophic conditions expected on Wednesday.

| Fire reached close to Port Lincoln last week in SA's first major bushfire for the season. |
It is one of the first times the Country Fire Service (CFS) has declared a pre-emptive fire ban 24 hours before a hot and windy day, the agency's head said.
"It's pretty unusual that we take a precautionary fire ban and I hope that people will realise we've done so in response to the severity of the conditions which are forecasted for Wednesday," CFS chief officer Mark Jones said.
