A couple of small fires in the Wondai area added to smoke haze around the South Burnett at the weekend.

Three fire crews were called to a small vegetation fire on Burns Road at Ballogie about 3:30pm on Saturday afternoon.

The fire was burning in dense vegetation on a private property.

Firefighters assisted the property owner to bring the fire under control.

Also on Saturday, a small fire in a pile of woodchips at the Wondai sawmill created smoke in the vicinity of the Wondai Showgrounds.

A fire crew hosed down the smouldering woodchips.
