There are reports of people hiding from the police inside the fire zone so that they are not forced to evacuate.
Karen Smallmon said that she had left the Deepwater and Baffle Creek area a few days ago, but that she knew people who were actively hiding from the police while a gigantic hell was making rage nearby.
This fire has burned more than 22,000 hectares since Saturday and is still spreading.
The Embers have now crossed the stream, which was used to transport people yesterday, with a new fire starting on the south shore, approaching Winfield.
An emergency warning has also been issued for Captain Creek. These evacuations are not mandatory, but people should only stay on site if they have an appropriate bushfire plan.
"They all dodge the police because if the police catch them, they will escort them," Smallmon said, adding that she knew a person escorted by handcuffs.
"They do not think they are in danger, they think they can see it happen."
Prime Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk, police and fire officials expressed growing frustration at the refusal of some people to abide by evacuation orders, particularly at Deepwater, Baffle Creek, Oyster Creek and Rules Beach .
Her boredom was clear today when she said "some people do not understand the message," a message that includes very clear warnings that people could be burned to death.
Further north, at Sarina Beach, south of Mackay, resident Vicky Crichton stated that she had acted exactly as she had been when she had been awakened by the authorities.
"It was so fast, it was … I just opened the door and it was like opening the door to hell," she told ABC.
"It was just heat and people were running down the street and it was just crazy."
