Brisbane is set for a maximum temperature of 34 degrees on Tuesday as a ferocious blaze continues to burn in southern Queensland.
A week after it first threatened homes, a ferocious blaze continues to burn west of Toowoomba as firefighters prepare for conditions to worsen.
There was some reprieve on Monday, with milder conditions for crews battling the blaze near Tara that has claimed one life and destroyed almost 50 homes in the past week. John Welke, Queensland Rural Fire Service superintendent, said interstate help would be welcomed by fatigued Western Downs crews.“Crews have been capitalising on some milder conditions ... unfortunately, we see some significant deterioration in weather tomorrow.”
