Residents north of Brisbane have been warned to stay indoors as a bushfire blankets multiple suburbs in smoke.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services issued an alert on Thursday morning for those in Griffin, North Lakes, Deception Bay and Redcliffe to stay inside and close windows and doors.
The smoke was coming from a bushfire burning in the Griffin Environmental Reserve and was potentially harmful, particularly to those with existing respiratory problems.
QFES Superintendent James Haig said that as Queensland entered bushfire season it was imperative at-risk residents had a survival plan.
“It’s been less bushfires up here than perhaps down south, but of course we are seeing changing situations with the climate and migration, so people do need to be aware of their local risk,” he said.
“It’s really important that people do that planning in advance because it’s much easier to make decisions in that sort of considered way than to communicate with your family as a bushfire occurs when you least expect it.”
Thursday morning’s alert comes after Brisbane City Council issued thousands of warning letters across 26 fire-prone suburbs, telling locals to brace for a potentially fierce bushfire season.
Just weeks after thick smoke from hazard-reduction burns choked the city, council said it would conduct more burn-offs to reduce fire fuel ahead of summer as part of their bushfire management plan.
Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner said eight extra burns were planned for 2023 after the Bureau of Meteorology confirmed an El Nino weather system was likely to develop in late winter or early spring.
“To date, we have completed eight more burns than 2022 and, weather permitting, will complete more burns across suitable sites,” Mr Schrinner said.
QFES issued a further two smoke warnings on Thursday from hazard reduction burns at Bunyaville Conservation Park, in Brisbane’s northwest, and North Stradbroke Island (Minjerribah) near East Coast Road.
Supt Haig said that hazard reduction burns were an imperative mitigation tool around suburbs with high bushfire risk, such as being near grassy slopes.
“The smoke impacts, of course, that‘s not at all the intention of these prescribed burns or these hazard reduction burns, it’s an unfortunate consequence,” he said.
“But as we‘ve seen before if you have a bushfire itself also generates heaps of smoke. So we would much rather try and do it in a controlled way when we can keep the people safe and minimise the risk going into the season itself.”
A QFES spokesman said while hazard reduction burns could be scheduled for a nominated time period, it was not possible to provide definitive start and duration dates as controlled burns were dependent on a number of factors, specifically weather conditions.
Supt Haig said another imperative bushfire mitigation effort was residents preparing their own properties by clearing gutters and yards of potential fuel.
Supt Haig said El Nino would increase the likelihood of drought conditions furthering the risk of bushfires as warmth increases and rain reduces.
“Another thing is making sure that the access isn’t overgrown, so that should you need to leave you can do so easily,” he said,
“And secondly, so that we would if we need to, get in with one of our fire trucks.”
