September 10, 2017<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firefighters have had another busy few days in the South Burnett, with fires still burning on Sunday evening at Elgin Vale and in the Wondai forestry.<\/p>\n

Fires at Wattle Camp and Old Esk Road at Taromeo were under control and being monitored.<\/p>\n

Other fires at the weekend were reported at Cherbourg, Murgon, Nanango, South Nanango and Widgee.<\/p>\n

Malar-Booie, Wattle Camp and Stuart River rural fire brigades were called back to the Memerambi-Barkers Creek Road \/ Wattle Camp Road area on Saturday evening to control a fire burning in land adjacent to last week’s large blaze.<\/p>\n

Crews conducted backburning late into the night and continued to monitor the area on Sunday to prevent any flare-ups.<\/p>\n

The fire burning in the forestry area between Wondai and Cherbourg was still burning on Sunday night, three days after it broke out.<\/p>\n

A large fire which started near Lewis Duff Road, Ballogie,\u00a0on Friday afternoon was no longer causing issues to firefighters by Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

Taromeo RFB volunteers, who had been entertaining the crowds at the Blackbutt Avocado Festival, ditched their fancy dress costumes on Saturday afternoon when a fire alert came in from their local area.<\/p>\n

At Widgee, firefighters conducted backburning on Saturday to contain a grass fire burning near Boundary Drive and Gympie-Woolooga Road.<\/p>\n
