SA grain mill up in flames

In the midst of some of the worst floods to hit Australia in over 50 years, a South Australian grain mill caught fire early this morning.

Fire crews had the blaze at the Lauckle Flour Mill in Freeling, about 60 kilometres north of Adelaide, under control by 4am this morning.

It is believed to have originally started at about 6pm last night.

Fire crews are still at five-storey grain silo checking for hot spots that could fuel another blaze.

It is believed to have been caused by grain at the bottom of the conveyor belt catching fire, and no injuries have been reported at this stage.
