Quick-working firefighters have quelled a B-double tanker fire.
The tanker caught fire on the Glenelg Highway near Tarrington and a CFA spokesman said authorities were alerted to the blaze on Friday afternoon before 5pm.
Eight CFA units responded.
"They have responded to a tanker fire on the Glenelg Highway, with flames coming from the undercarriage," he said.
"The B-double is carrying resin. The fire spread and a small amount of grass also caught fire.
"It could have been bad, but the firefighters got onto it quick."
Hamilton, Grange, Strathkellar, Tarrington and Bainbridge CFA units attended.
