Fire crews were called back to two grass fires which flared up on Thursday morning.
In the first, firefighters were called back to Millers Road at Booie after a fire – believed to have been started by lightning on Tuesday evening – flared back up.
In the second, a fire crew was sent to The Heights Road at Barkers Creek Flat to work to strengthen containment lines around a fire.
This fire was causing considerable smoke in the local area.
Residents have been reminded there is a local fire ban in place in the South Burnett, Cherbourg, Gympie and North Burnett council areas.
The restrictions will remain in place at least until midnight on Friday (November 11).
