Don't forget the weather change expected tonight - ABC TV news just announced it would hit Toowoomba at 10.00pm (have a look at previous update for details).
There will be ten fire crews on duty tonight. Crews will be mainly patrolling and strengthening containment lines.
Back burning will occur on Pine Road to link up two sections of containment line, over about a 200m front (already happening I think, I've just seen the flames on our skyline).
Back burning will also occur on Garrards Land at Sandy Creek, to make sure that access to the Deucker property can be maintained in the face of the approaching fire front during the night.
This fire event is expected to need management by fire crews for another 48 hours.
More than 5,000ha has been burned - a significant jump on what was expected due to the fire that was started in the large property at the end of Adare Road, behind the planned containment line.
when it comes to bushfires, we are all neighbours
