A fire burning in a paddock behind Knight Street cast a pall of smoke over Kingaroy on Thursday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Firefighters were called to the incident just before 3:30pm, with heavy plumes of dark smoke already rising into the air.<\/p>\n

At 3:45pm, QFES issued an “Avoid Smoke” warning for the blaze to Kingaroy residents.<\/p>\n

At 4:30pm, there were 11 units at the fire – a mix of urban and rural brigades.<\/p>\n

A QFES spokesperson said firefighters had put in breaks to contain the flames.<\/p>\n

At 4:45pm, the western and eastern edges had been contained, with fire crews concentrating on the southern and northern areas.<\/p>\n

No structures were under threat.<\/p>\n

Police and ambulance crews were also in attendance.<\/p>\n
