Firefighters last month responded to a shed fire in Sarina that was sending big plumes of smoke into the sky.

Emergency services received information about the fire, near Golf Course Road and Armstrong Beach Road, just before 1pm on Wednesday August 24.

After initially having trouble gaining access to the property, fireys arrived to find a 10x15m single-storey corrugated iron shed fully engulfed.

A car was also destroyed in the blaze.
