The Queensland Fire and Emergency Services or QFES authorities warned Biboohra residents in north Queensland to evacuate with caution from their properties, as the bushfire began to travel east on Sunday.
Residents were urged to have their bushfire survival plans ready as the area would be affected by the smoke- with power, water and mobile phone services potentially lost as firefighting crews worked to contain the fires.
The QFES stated that the fire could impact the community significantly, particularly as firefighters may not have been able to protect every single property.
