Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) has imposed a local fire ban for some North Coast residents.
The local fire ban will be in place from 7:50am on Wednesday (March 10) for residents in the Bundaberg, Fraser Coast and Gympie Regional Council areas.
The ban is expected to remain in place until 11:50pm on Tuesday, March 16.
Under this local fire ban, all open fires are prohibited and all Permits to Light Fire which have been issued in the designated areas have been cancelled.
QFES encourages people to use extreme care when using equipment outdoors and ensure adequate equipment is available to extinguish any fire which may start.
NB. There is no fire ban in place for the South Burnett, Cherbourg or Toowoomba council areas at present.
