Bushfires in the QLD: Residents have been invited to leave now for Deepwater, Baffle Creek, Rules Beach, Oyster Creek and Finch Hatton

More than 1,000 people have left their homes near the Deepwater Fire, south of Agnes Water, on the central coast of the state, as of this morning.

Bats fall from the sky to HEATWAVE

However, many others have ignored requests for departure and some residents are directly on the move from hell, even after the police knocked on their doors last night.

At least 50 people refuse to leave Rules Beach, north of Bundaberg, just hours before an unexpected bushfire.

Premier Annatascia Palaszczuk said the group will have an hour – long window to use a small access bridge and a road to leave.

This bridge and this road should be closed when the weather conditions warm up around noon.

"You have to leave now," said Ms. Palaszczuk.

"The beach is not going to be safe.

"The window for them to leave closes quickly. We expect a change of wind and the fire increases considerably. "

Fire and Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford said residents who remained at risk of death remain on the spot.

"We are expecting a bad day, there is no easy way to say it," he told ABC radio this morning.

"What we're waiting for in Queensland today is the kind of conditions that other states have experienced in the past – it's the kind of day that people risk losing their lives."

The fire storm would probably create "dead zones" where it would be impossible to survive, even in a car.

"It's essentially a space in which humidity, temperature and fire create its own weather cell and becomes a virtually unbearable space for a short time," Crawford said.

"It's the kind of conditions that can consume a vehicle very quickly … if we succeed today and we do not have them, we'll be as lucky as it's not funny."

This comes as Queensland's chief superintendent of fire and emergency services, Paul Sheath, has confirmed that at least one house was lost last night around Baffle Creek.

He said that "about 20 to 30%" of the community refused to leave.

They underestimate the fire or do not want to leave their pets.

"Find shelter, try to fight the fire, adopt your bushfire plan and call triple zero," said Superintendent Sheath.

"It could be too late if you are in this situation."

Last night, indefatigable firefighters built solid containment lines around the fire.

The fire barely moved last night but today, we expect it to be the worst this week.

Heavy gusts and a storm are likely to cause a fire through the containment lines.

More than 80 fires are burning in the state, but the Deepwater and Dalrymple fires, to the west of Mackay, are the most worrisome.

The extremely important and intense fire at Deepwater is expected to touch Baffle Creek, Rules Beach and Oyster Creek this morning.

"We are simply asking residents who choose to stay in, we are trying to inform them that their safest option is not to be there," said FESQ Assistant Commissioner Gary McCormack at Nine Network.

"We can not guarantee that we will hold this fire under the current conditions. So their safest option is not to be with their property. The preservation of life must be their top priority at this stage. "

Interstate teams arrived yesterday to help fight hell in central Queensland, which has destroyed homes and burned at least 20,000 hectares of bush and farmland since Saturday.

Eight aircraft, including a huge water bomber, capable of dropping 15,000 liters at a time, are also fighting the fire.

Today, other crews from southern Australia are expected to arrive, and Prime Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk has indicated that she may seek the badistance of the army.

6:30 AM: RESIDENTS HAVE ORDERED FROM APPROACHES TO FIRESTORM

QUEENSLAND is getting ready for unprecedented fire conditions today, while more than 80 fires are burning around the state.

The communities of Deepwater and the surrounding Queensland Central Coast have been ordered to leave immediately as the bush fire continues to progress.

This morning, the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services have updated their warning: "leave immediately" for the residents of Deepwater, Baffle Creek, Rules Beach and Oyster Creek.

"Leaving immediately is the safest option because it will soon be too dangerous to drive," said the warning.

"If you are not in the area, do not come back because the conditions are too dangerous."

The QFES said: "An extremely large and intense fire is heading southwest towards Muller Road. It should touch Baffle Creek, Rules Beach and Oyster Creek in the next few hours. The fire should have a significant impact on the community.

"All residents of Deepwater, Baffle Creek, Rules Beach and Oyster Creek are expected to evacuate west to Miriam Vale using Tableland Road and Fingerboard Road.

"The crossing at Hills Road, Coast Road and Oyster Creek Road, Baffle Creek, was under threat, but firefighters were able to prevent the fire from spreading at the crossing at that time.

"The conditions are now very dangerous and firefighters may soon be unable to prevent the fire from spreading. Fire can be a threat to all lives directly in its path.

"Fire crews may not be able to protect your property. You should not wait for a firefighter on your door: act now.

"Electricity, water and mobile phone services can be lost and the state of the roads can become very dangerous over the next few hours."

This morning's QFES reissued a warning for Dalrymple Heights, urging residents to leave now if they did not have a bushfire survival plan.

At 5 am, the "big fire" was traveling from Boons Road to Chelmans Road, north of Dalrymple Heights. It continues to impact Snake Road and Chelmans Road. The fire could have a significant impact on the community, warned the QFES.

Fire crews have been working all night to protect properties along Snake and Chelmans roads and will be on the scene again today, but QFES has asked residents not to wait for firefighters on their doorstep. and encouraged them to leave.

This comes after the prime minister yesterday urged residents to leave and informed each mayor of Queensland of the extreme conditions expected today.

"I know some people may not want to leave their homes. I know that the situation is extremely difficult, but I need you to listen to the authorities and for you to leave immediately, "said Prime Minister Annastacia Palaszczuk Tuesday afternoon.

Extreme conditions are expected Wednesday in the state, as the heat wave continues.

A trough moving from the west to the coast is of particular concern.

"It generates storms and lightning, but unfortunately not much rain. So these flashes of fire are a chance to trigger other fires as they head for the coast, "said Bruce Gunn, Queensland State Manager of the Bureau of Meteorology.

"This is what happens in the land (Tuesday) and closer to the coast (Wednesday). There is drier air behind this hollow and this only increases the danger of fire, as well as instability, which creates a very powerful and dangerous situation. "

QFES inspector Andrew Sturgess said it was unprecedented conditions in Queensland.

"We have a combination of dangerous elements that align (Wednesday). Wind changes, instability, fire storms, many stains in front of fires are not a bad day, they are record conditions, they are extreme conditions like we've never seen previously in Queensland. "

The government has made the rare move to inform all mayors of the state, pending these dangerous conditions on Wednesday.

QFES Commissioner Katarina Carroll said 107 NSW personnel had been deployed in the Agnes Water area (Tuesday) and additional badistance was planned.

Residents of Finch Hatton, in the Pioneer Valley, west of Mackay, were able to return home at 9:30 pm, with property no longer a threat. Fire crews will remain at the scene during the night.

A further 100 officers will arrive from NSW in the coming days, while Carroll said that 225 officers have been requested elsewhere.

"What we have is the combination of the most horrible conditions in the next 48 hours," she said.

"The combination of climate, heat and fire is absolutely horrible.

"The heat wave has been going on for several days. It does not rain and there is no respite. "

The weather bureau has forecast extreme heat wave conditions from Thursday Island to Toowoomba.

Cities between the Northern Territory border and the East Coast should experience temperatures above 40C until Monday. Townsville recorded its hottest day in November yesterday at 41.7 ° C.

As Queensland's worst bush fire erupted on his property, Deepwater's Mark Reiser had only enough time to take a picture of his children and his girlfriend, Emily the Joey.

Reiser is one of more than 1,500 displaced people in the Deepwater community, about 60 km north of Bundaberg, from unprecedented bush fires.

Last night, students and teachers were forced to shelter in a clbadroom at Eungella Elementary School after the closure of roads.

Sixty firefighters from South Australia, along with incident management team staff and a commander, will travel to Queensland today to help fight the bush fires threatening the state.

The contingent of South Australian firefighters is expected to leave the Adelaide Airport today afternoon.
