While the spokesperson said the bushfire was controlled by about 10am thanks to back-burning along containment lines, smoke billowing from the fire remained extensive throughout the day.
Nearby residents were warned by QFES earlier today to shut-up their homes and to keep medication close by, with drivers also urged to drive carefully in smokey conditions.
