Central Highlands Regional Council is undertaking a series of controlled hazard reduction burns along Springsure Creek in the south-east of Springsure.
Weather permitting, the burns will continue until the end of July 2020.
Council’s Coordinator Disaster Management and Community Resilience Glenn Bell said residents may see a fair bit of smoke and ash throughout the burn period.
‘We encourage people in the adjoining areas to take the necessary precautions to protect themselves and their properties,’ Mr Bell said.
These hazard reduction burns form part of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and Rural Fire Services Operation Cool Burn 2020.
