Wongawallan fire update

Today's fire near several properties along Tamborine Oxenford Rd Wongawallan accidentally started by a spark from a vehicle and it was not deliberately lit. We hope this eases the community sentiment on how the fire started.

The extrodinary work by RFS and QFR firefighters quickly brought this fire under control and were able to ensure no damage to several homes in the vicinity of the fire.

A crew will return tomorrow for a patrol of the fire ground to ensure no chance of reigniting.

It's a timely reminder how dry vegetation is at the moment and an accidental spark can start fast moving grass fires that can quickly threaten homes. Fuel loads in the Coomera Valley Rural Fire Brigade area are very high and we all need to be vigilant and call 000 early if you see an unattended fire.

Outstanding work by all the volunteers and career firefighters today. Our communities thank you.
