fireys fight to protect tourist drawcards
Firefighters are warning that weather conditions will continue to fan flames as they battle a massive out-of-control blaze on Queensland’s Fraser Island.
The fire, which has been burning for a month-and-a-half, is closing in on two tourist attractions.
The Queensland Fire and Emergency Service said on Sunday the fire was five kilometres from the Kingfisher Bay Resort, which has temporarily closed its doors, on the island’s western beach.
Another fire front was just two kilometres from the Cathedrals camping ground on the other side of the island.
“Weather conditions will continue to deteriorate today, with increased smoke reducing visibility and air quality on Fraser Island and adjacent mainland areas,” QFES said on Sunday.
