Saturday 1 September - Very High Fire Danger in the Lockyer

The forecast Fire Danger Rating for the area including the Lockyer Valley Region was changed to Very High for today, 1 September. [ http://www.bom.gov.au/qld/forecasts/fire-danger-ratings.shtml ]

Not surprising considering the high winds through the area, relatively low humidity and very dry conditions.

Forecast for tomorrow is High, followed by current forecast of Low-Moderate for Monday and Tuesday - but keep in mind the very dry conditions in the Lockyer which are unlikely to have changed.
