Local fire bans have been extended again due to the ongoing weather patterns.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, a QFES spokesperson said the local fire ban would remain in place until 11:59pm on Friday,\u00a0September 20, for residents in the South and North Burnett, Cherbourg, Gympie and Somerset council areas.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the ban in the Toowoomba council area was also extended to 11:59pm on September 20.<\/p>\n

The fire danger rating for the Wide Bay-Burnett and Darling Downs regions is “Very High” for Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

Firefighters warn that conditions are perfect for bushfires to ignite and spread quickly.<\/p>\n

Under a 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.<\/p>\n

Power tools may be used during a local fire ban however QFES encourages people to use these with extreme care and ensure adequate equipment is available to extinguish any fire which may start.<\/p>\n

This may include having a person available to watch out for any ignitions that occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
