La Nina-generated storms can’t come quick enough for under-the-pump firefighters
Queensland firefighters have battled more than a dozen blazes across the south of the state in the past 24 hours and are desperately hoping La Nina-generated storms arrive soon.
A fire ban has been put in place for the weekend for Logan, across the Scenic Rim, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley and Somerset local government areas with no significant rain predicted for the next week.
It comes as emergency services fought bush, grass and vegetation fires from as far north as Gladstone, across to Dalby in the Western Downs as well as on the Sunshine Coast, Ipswich and Fraser Island.
