November 29, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

NSW firefighters have taken up guard in the South Burnett and North Burnett to lend a hand during the current very high fire danger period.<\/p>\n

Trucks from Taree, Country Club (Woolgoolga) as well as the Mid North Coast were spotted in Kingaroy on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Several were on their way north to help out, but trucks from Wauchope and Bonny Hills have been stationed at the Kingaroy Red Ants clubhouse in Kingaroy.<\/p>\n

The crews had travelled 14 hours to get to the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

They came from a number of rural brigades around NSW including Wauchope, Bonny Hills, Marlee, King Creek and Lake Cathie.<\/p>\n

When southburnett.com.au<\/strong> dropped in on Thursday afternoon, they had not yet been called to any jobs but were going to be “on call” overnight.<\/p>\n

After a very busy Wednesday, South Burnett firefighters had a quieter time on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rural brigades were called to a grass fire burning near Bellbird Road at Hodgleigh on Thursday morning.\u00a0The fire, believed to have been started by a slasher, was quickly brought under control and extinguished.<\/p>\n

The fire that has been burning at Googa Creek, south of Blackbutt, was declared closed on Thursday.\u00a0 This fire had been burning near Spelling Gully Road since Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Firefighters monitored the area where a large grass fire started near Runnymede Road and McCallum Road, Runnymede, on Wednesday afternoon. Multiple fire crews and a water bomber worked to bring it under control on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

Fire crews were also monitoring a fire near Ettrickdale Road at Booubyjan which began on Sunday afternoon, and a fire near Beeron which briefly closed the Mundubbera-Durong Road on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

About 10:00am on Thursday, firefighters were called to a blaze near Running Creek Road at Kilkivan.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Smoke was affecting the nearby area.<\/p>\n

At 5:30pm, six fire crews were still at the incident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
