Port Adelaide sulphur fire triggers evacuation as toxic smoke spreads, residents told to leave immediately

A major industrial fire involving sulphur storage has triggered an emergency evacuation in Port Adelaide, with authorities warning that toxic smoke drifting across parts of Adelaide poses a serious health risk. Emergency services issued an immediate evacuation order for people within a 1-kilometre radius of Moonta Road, urging residents, workers and visitors to leave the area without delay.

Others outside the evacuation zone but affected by the smoke were advised to remain indoors, shut all doors and windows, and switch off air-conditioning systems that draw in outside air.
