The fire spread quickly, fanned by dry northerly winds<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 1, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Firefighters will remain on the scene overnight – and possibly for the next few days – to ensure that a fire at Brooklands this afternoon does not flare up again.<\/p>\n

The fire was originally sparked by a lightning strike on Monday but was brought under control.<\/p>\n

However today’s dry northerly winds fanned hidden embers and the fire flared up again.<\/p>\n

It quickly jumped the Old Taabinga Road and took off through a forested area, burning out about 40ha.<\/p>\n

Rural and urban crews were called to the scene at 1:00pm and had the fire back under control by 4:00pm.<\/p>\n

The Brooklands, Stuart River, Hodgleigh-Kunioon and South Nanango rural brigades were joined by members from the Strike Team currently in the South Burnett.<\/p>\n

SES crews from Kingaroy, Nanango and Yarraman also attended the blaze as did an ambulance crew as a precautionary measure.<\/p>\n

Incident controller Chris Behm, 1st officer from Stuart River RFS, said a total of 11 rural units and two urban units attended the fire, which he described as “medium size”.<\/p>\n

They conducted back-burning to control the fire.<\/p>\n

He said the dry conditions and wind had helped the fire to move quickly.<\/p>\n

Bushfire Safety Officer Joe Cullen, from Maryborough, is leading the Strike Team, the third to visit the South Burnett recently.<\/p>\n

He said the fire was a timely warning to landholders to review their bushfire survival plan, and take the necessary steps to prepare their properties for a bushfire.<\/p>\n

“If families don’t have a bushfire survival plan, it is necessary that they prepare one, and that all family members are aware of what it contains,” officer Cullen said.<\/p>\n
