What started as an illegal campfire led to a grass fire that quickly took hold up the Dunes at the Teewah Campgrounds on Sunday 26 October.

The Teewah Fire Brigade attended and was joined by Noosa North Shore Brigade and QPWS crews.

What turned out to be an all day effort had the Teewah brigade thankful that air support came through to try and stop the fire from travelling over the dune system.

“Hot, windy, dry conditions were challenging but great to work alongside our local crews,“ said the Teewah Rural Fire Brigade.

“The cracking evening storm brought the rain we desperately needed.“
