Crews keeping an eye on large Queensland bushfire

Firefighters are battling a large bushfire in southern Queensland, that's been burning for three days.

The blaze has been burning just off the New England Highway at Wyberba, south of Stanthorpe near the Queensland-NSW border, since Friday.

A Queensland Fire and Emergency Services spokesman says crews have been conducting aerial checks and liaising with property owners.

However, the fire is in inaccessible bushland and isn't posing any threat to property, he said.

"A large smoke haze is visible in the area and residents are advised to close windows and doors and keep medication on hand if suffering from a respiratory illness," the spokesman said.

The Bureau of Meteorology recordings showed temperatures had pushed past 30C at Stanthorpe by 9am, with a maximum of 34C predicted.
