New bushfire threat to Stradbroke homes

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 07 Januari 2014 | 15.02

WATER-BOMBING helicopters and fire crews are battling a large bushfire heading for homes on North Stradbroke Island, off Brisbane.

The blaze, fanned by strong winds, is burning at Brown Lake and is heading towards Myora Springs.

At 5.30pm (AEST), the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service issued another alert saying they expected the fire to reach Myora Springs within two hours.

"This fire is moving quickly and spot fires may occur ahead of the fire front and embers are also being thrown from the fire," the alert said.

"Residents are strongly advised to be prepared to relocate to a safer area if required."

There are three properties in the area, according to the Department of Community Safety.

The blaze was started by a lightning strike nine days ago.

No homes have been affected so but the fire prompted the evacuation of about 900 campers on New Year's Day.
