Up to 200 firefighters are continuing to battle a deadly bushfire in the Adelaide Hills, as the weather bureau warns of another severe heatwave expected to hit the region later this week.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison yesterday visited the Cudlee Creek fire ground, where more than 80 homes have been destroyed and one life lost since the blaze broke out in catastrophic conditions on Friday.
"In these fires we have seen the best of Australia, the overwhelming story of these fires is the best of Australians in their response," Mr Morrison said yesterday.
"The fire season has a long way to go yet … for so many firefighters it is going to be another day out there protecting their communities, and I thank them for their service."
While the battle to contain the fire is continuing unabated, Christmas is bringing a brief but welcome reprieve for some in the Adelaide Hills.
