UPDATE 10 a.m.

A spokesperson for QFES communications confirmed that the fire from the vegetation that burned west of Glenwood in Munna Creek was under control this morning.

The fire was declared safe after eighteen QFES crews worked on the spot to control the fire when it had fled from the fire yesterday afternoon.

The spokesman said there was no crew present at the moment, but that patrols would take place at 13:00 this afternoon to check the status of the fire.

He said the fire was expected to continue burning within the established limits within a few days, but would not pose a hazard unless there was an unexpected violation of the containment.

A firefighter is thought to have been wounded and is fighting the flame.

A QFES spokesperson said yesterday that possessions along the Bauple Woolooga Road were heavily influenced by smoke from the fire, but they did not know if houses or barns were threatened.
