Firefighters work to protect a home on Kumbia-Brooklands Road this morning<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

November 12, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

Multiple fire crews were scrambled this morning to protect homes at Ellesmere after a large grass fire broke out in Gannon Drive about 10:30am.<\/p>\n

Urban, rural and units from the visiting Strike Team were called to the scene.<\/p>\n

The fire quickly spread across a shallow valley linking Gannon Drive with the Kumbia-Brooklands Road, near the intersection with Ellesmere Road.<\/p>\n

A number of homes were in the pathway of the flames, but fire crews successfully defended these and also stopped the blaze from crossing Kumbia-Brooklands Road.<\/p>\n

Flames came within metres of one house which was surrounded by firefighters.<\/p>\n

About 50ha of grassland and backyards were burned out.<\/p>\n

At 1:30pm, crews were still on the scene ensuring the fire was not whipped up again by the wind.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, at Tingoora multiple rural fire crews and Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service employees are on the scene of a fire burning in bushland near Olsens Road.<\/p>\n

A QFES spokesman said this fire had been burning for some time and had been under control but broke through containment lines about 9:00am today.<\/p>\n

At 1:30pm, fire crews were still on scene working to contain the blaze. No properties were under threat but there was a large amount of smoke in the area.<\/p>\n
