Fire and Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford has praised the efforts of hundreds of QFES staff and volunteers involved in the weekend fight against 230 vegetation fires.
The combination of prolonged dry conditions and high fuel loads means the state is at risk of a long, active bushfire season. Minster Crawford says there are currently about 20 bushfire incidents across Queensland.
Over the weekends efforts, one firefighter suffered from heat stress at Fernvale and one firefighter suffered minor burns at Linville.
