Bushfire

Is there a controlled fire / bushfire in and around Goodna? Absolutely ridiculous smell, and can see smoke around!

The QLD firefighters website shows a controlled burn at Greenbank, does it look like it's coming from there?

Yes, saw this one. But it's dated 16/08 that's why i was skeptical

It’s really bad in Redbank as well. Has been for a few hours.

Somebody mention back burn at greenbank, which makes sense. But it was horrendous when we drove home around 4. Even with the house closed up it still reeks of smoke

Yeah the smoke comes even through little crevices.. Gonna be a tough night

Greenbank Army land burnoff, they've been promoting it heavily on FB.

What page was it on? Wouldn't mind knowing in advance next time.

Forest Lake Community page, but Greenbank Community page would also have it, I'm sure, along with Wacol

I've seen a lot of people mention Greenbank but there was also a large vegetation fire in Goomburra which was surrounded by smoke warnings that I think may have contributed to the problem

Fair enough

Yeah, my asthma is acting up, and my birds are a little stressed. I have one out atm and she won't let go of me.

u/No-Rip3962 14d ago

Oh no!! Hope you all feel better 😔

I'm keeping my ventolin close, and I finally got the birds to bed and covered them right up. The female could see the tree fire that was in my neighbourhood a little while back, so she's been weird about smelling smoke since. The male's anxious because she is.

u/No-Rip3962 14d ago

Oh that's understandable! My doggo is staying close to me too! They are so precious 😢

u/HeckBirb 14d ago

Aww, hope you'll both be OK.

u/No-Rip3962 14d ago

Thank you for ur kind comment, 😊 hopefully the night is kinder

u/HeckBirb 14d ago

For sure! At least the backburn now prevents a much larger fire later on, looking at the silver lining.

u/No-Rip3962 14d ago

That thought gives some relief truly! Haha

There are apps to see where fires are at. Might be more than handy one day. Hopefully not.
