Another wind change is then expected by the early afternoon tomorrow, with the wind then coming from the east blowing smoke towards the west coast of the island.

Winds blowing to the west coast of the island will mean an increase in smoke blowing over the Southern Moreton Bay Islands and southern mainland Redlands Coast by early afternoon tomorrow.

The fire is currently south-east of Enterprise Mine.

Water bombing and backburning continue today.

A fire ban for Redlands Coast has currently been extended until 11.59pm on Wednesday 5 December. It is possible it will be extended.

There is no camping at Main Beach and the beach is closed south of Alfred Martin Way

All internal walking tracks within national parks on the island are temporarily closed due to the risk of wildfires.

Exercise caution when travelling around the island and do not enter closed areas. Do not ignore road closures signs. It is unlawful and dangerous to do so.
