At least 87 homes have been destroyed or damaged in the deadly South Australian bushfires, Premier Jay Weatherill has confirmed.

 

Mr Weatherill said that number was likely to increase once an analysis of the fire ground was completed.

The blaze, known as the Pinery fire, has now been contained.

Two people died in the blaze, Janet Hughes of Hamley Bridge and Allan Tiller of Pinery, and Mr Weatherill said about 90 people had been hospitalised.


Five people remain in a critical condition.

Mr Weatherill said about 450 insurance claims amounting to $61 million had been lodged so far and he expected that number to "substantially rise".

"We also know that there have been extraordinary losses of livestock and wildlife," Mr Weatherill said.

"Tens of thousands of chickens and estimates of something like 27,000 livestock.

"These are enormous numbers and it's great sadness associated with the loss of those animals' lives."

About 200 firefighters remain on the ground to put out any flare ups, mop up and continue to blacken the remaining fire ground.
