Queensland Fire and Emergency Services will continue a local fire ban for residents across the Greater Brisbane region.
Fire bans remain in place for 32 local government areas in Queensland, including Redland and Brisbane city councils.
The QFES has advised current fire conditions were perfect for bushfires to ignite and spread quickly.
FIRE STRIKE TEAMS PROTECT REDLANDS COAST
Under a local fire ban all open fires are prohibited and all Permits to Light Fire which have been issued in the designated areas have been cancelled.
Power tools may be used during a local fire ban however QFES encourages people to use these with extreme care and ensure adequate equipment is available to extinguish any fire which may start.
This may include having a person available to watch out for any ignitions that occur.
The ban is expected to remain in place until midnight Sunday, December 8.
Information on fire bans and the exemptions that can apply can be found on the RFS website, www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au.
