Planned burns will be happening in the\u00a0Benarkin State Forest from September 4-6.<\/p>\n

A\u00a0Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service said the burns were\u00a0part of the annual hazard reduction-conservation management program for parks and forests.<\/p>\n

As a result, smoke may be seen in the Blackbutt and Benarkin areas.<\/p>\n

“The aim of this burn is to reduce the volume of forest fuels and to create a mosaic pattern of burnt and unburnt areas,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

“This will help reduce the intensity of any subsequent wildfires, and provide favourable conditions for natural forest regeneration.<\/p>\n

“Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads, so it is important that motorists drive safely to the conditions.<\/p>\n

“If suffering from a respiratory condition, close windows and doors, and keep medications close by.”<\/p>\n
