A WATCH and act alert has been issued for some residents of Bribie Island north of Brisbane, where a bushfire continues to burn out of control.
The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) says residents near White Patch, north-west of Wrights Creek, should finalise their bushfire plans and prepare for a bushfire in the area.
"At 12.45pm, a number of bushfires were located in Bribie Island National Park, near White Patch," the QFRS said.
"The fires are travelling in a northerly direction and are expected to impact the areas surrounding White Patch Esplanade, including Toowa Street, Horace Street, Coondiba Street, Ethel Street, Hilda Street, Maud Street and Charles Street in the next six to 24 hours."
Residents have been told to finalise their bushfire plans and be prepared to relocate to a safer area if required.
There are currently 16 fire crews working to contain the blaze, which is being fanned by strong winds. Water bombers are on standby.
But the QFRS said firefighters may not be able to protect every affected property and residents should not expect a firefighter at their door.
The fire has been burning on the island since Monday. Earlier on Wednesday, all of the island's campgrounds were closed and campers evacuated as a precaution.
