Queensland Fire and Emergency Services public information officer for the incident, and Nambour station officer Kim Gray said they had 75 vehicles on-site now, and a further four en route, with a mix of urban and rural crews, supported by Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service officers trying to battle the blaze.

End loaders and water tankers were also on scene.

"There's a lot of fuel on the ground," Mr Gray said.

He said phone lines had been clogged by calls reporting smoke, from all over the Coast, and while he sympathised with residents, he urged people to restrict triple-0 calls to reports of fire and flames only.

"The biggest problem we're having at the moment is smoke as a by-product," Mr Gray said.

"We can't do anything about the smoke."

He said smoke was going as far south as Landsborough and the Blackall Range.
