A fire danger rating (Moderate, High, Extreme, Catastrophic) describes how dangerous a fire would be if one started — it is a forecast, not a law. A Total Fire Ban is a separate legal declaration made by the SA Country Fire Service that prohibits most fires in the open for a declared period.
South Australia also has a Fire Danger Season, during which extra restrictions or permit requirements can apply even without a total fire ban. Councils, parks and land managers can impose their own bans on top of state declarations.
For what you can and can't do — campfires, BBQs, machinery and permits — see the full SA fire ban rules.
Total Fire Bans in South Australia are declared by the SA Country Fire Service. Always confirm with the official source before lighting any fire:
