Firefighters threw a rescue line to help a man aged in his 60s trapped on the roof of a vehicle caught in floodwaters at Ellesmere on Tuesday night.<\/p>\n

A woman who had been inside the vehicle managed to get out and was found holding on to a barbed wire fence.<\/p>\n

A QAS spokesperson said both were transported to Kingaroy Hospital in a stable condition as a precaution.<\/p>\n

The emergency call came in just before 8:15pm for a vehicle caught in floodwaters near Kumbia and Parker roads at Ellesmere.<\/p>\n

A QFD spokesperson said that when firefighters arrived on the scene, the water was above the bonnet of the vehicle.<\/p>\n

Rescuers tossed a throw-bag line – which includes a personal flotation device – to the man on the roof of the vehicle, before pulling him to safety.<\/p>\n

Fire crews were called out again about 6:20am on Wednesday after fears someone may have been missing in floodwaters at Brooklands.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An empty vehicle was spotted near Boldery and Nanango-Brooklands roads.<\/p>\n

A search of the area began until police confirmed the occupant was safe.<\/p>\n

The driver had abandoned the vehicle and walked through the water to safety.<\/p>\n

Many roads around the South Burnett were still cut at 8:00am on Wednesday. Check the South Burnett Regional Council’s Disaster Dashboard<\/a> for details.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
