(Update: this Watch and Act message has since been reduced.)
Fire crews are currently battling a grass and scrub fire at Robe, with a "Watch and Act - Leave Now" warning message issued.
At 12:46pm today emergency services were alerted to a fire in the area of the Southern Ports Highway and Eliza Lane at Robe.
Shortly after, all aircraft assigned to the fire were released as they were told they weren't required due to the fire being a permitted burn-off.
At 1:59pm crews were called in again when the fire jumped containment lines and was burning out of control.
The fire is currently burning in a north easterly direction towards the Southern Ports Highway and Old Naracoorte Road.
A warning has been issued for those in the pictured warning area to leave now, as this fire may threaten your safety. Those leaving are advised to ensure the path is clear and go to a safer place. Those nearby are advised not to enter the area as conditions are dangerous.
