A fire which broke out yesterday morning at Booubyjan is still burning in inaccessible country but does not pose a risk to property.
An Emergency Services spokesman said fire services were initially called to the fire, near the Burnett Highway, at 9:30am yesterday.
A tractor was used to cut firebreaks and by 6:00pm, it was believed the fire was under control.
However this morning, the fire broke through the containment about 10:00am and fire crews were recalled to the scene.
At 4:00pm, the fire was being allowed to burn in inaccessible country while firecrews patrolled the perimeter.
Update October 27: The fire continues to burn but is back within containment lines. Fire crews used a grader to carve out additional firebreaks today and left the scene at 4:50pm.
