Queensland enacts statewide fire ban due to extreme bushfire risk, banning open fires and outdoor work.
A statewide fire ban has been enacted across south-east and southern Queensland, including Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, and the Gold and Sunshine Coasts, effective Thursday through the long weekend due to extreme bushfire risk.
The Queensland Fire Department cited dangerous conditions—high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds—as creating a high risk for rapid fire spread.
Open fires are prohibited, hazard burns suspended, and residents warned to avoid using power tools outdoors.
The ban extends to Toowoomba, Goondiwindi, and surrounding areas starting Wednesday.
Recent fires near Enoggera Reservoir prompted evacuations, with crews still managing hotspots.
All fire permits in affected zones are suspended.
