Avoid unnecessary travel in bushfire impacted areas

With a number of fires burning throughout Queensland police are reminding motorists to limit unnecessary travel and keep roads clear for emergency services.

Fires by their very nature are unpredictable and motorists travelling through active bushfire areas could easily find themselves in quickly changing and dangerous situations.
If you live near a active bushfire area please limit all non-essential travel and re-think your need to be on the roads.
Driving conditions can be dangerous due to hazards such as burnt out trees over road ways, fallen power lines, smoke and dust. Please remain vigilant.
Emergency services are working together to return affected residents to their homes however this can only occur when the risk of fire has been mitigated.
This is a timely reminder to be ready to follow your bushfire survival plan. If you do not have a plan, or intend to leave, you should be ready to leave the area because situations can
