Smoke to the north of Gatton - to the NE of the Lockyer National Park

The last information I have - about 12.40pm today - Wed 25 May - is that this smoke is coming from private property to the north of the Lockyer National Park - north and northeast of the area burned at the weekend - and is most likely burning off being done by the landowner.  You will be able to see where the northern edge of the fire was on the map I circulated a day or so ago - that edge was still burning but was in the control of the landowner.

The wind is moving sometimes dense smoke from this fire into areas up to 10km and more from the fire.

A QPWS crew checked the edge of the earlier fire in the National Park this morning and confirmed that it had not spread from where it was when they contained it a couple of days ago. They are currently on-site mopping up in the burnt area.
