Gordonbrook residents were affected by smoke on Sunday night, 17 August.
The Queensland Fire Department issued an ‘avoid smoke’ warning at 7.03pm for the Gordonbrook and surrounding areas.
QFD reported there was a fire burning near Slatterys Road at Gordonbrook.
A Queensland Ambulance Service crew was called on standby for fellow emergency services to the grass fire at Slattery road at 6.23pm. The QAS were cleared and left the scene around 8pm.
QFD reported no properties were at risk from the grass fire, however the large amount of smoke may make it hard for people to breath and decrease visibility when driving.
What you should do:
– Stay inside and close windows and doors.
– Keep respiratory medication close by.
– Follow your bushfire survival plan now. If you do not have a bushfire survival plan, make one on the QFD website.
– Avoid driving through smoke if you can.
– Watch out for firefighters working in the area.
– Do not fly drones around the fire. Drones affect air operations.
