At approximately 11:00pm on Tuesday 2-7-2024, CFS firefighters from the Marla and Mimili Brigades responded to reports of a structure fire in Iwantja, of the APY lands in the northwest of the state.

The crews arrived to find a property fully engulfed in flames and worked defensively to contain the fire. Although the house is still standing, the roof did collapse, with damages of approximately $150,000.

The efficient work of firefighters prevented any further spread of fire from the property.

SA Police assisted firefighters at the scene and Fire Cause will be attending the site today. 2024-07-03
