Central Qld town saved from bushfire

THE township of Euleilah in central Queensland has been saved from a large bushfire that jumped containment lines.

But firefighters warn the danger has not passed, and the blaze could flare up again over the weekend.

Rural Operations manager Brian Smith says an evacuation alert has been cancelled but the fire is still unpredictable.

"We have had extra resources come up from Bundaberg this afternoon and we brought a strike team down from Rockhampton this morning so we have about 17 appliances on the scene at the moment," he told the ABC on Friday afternoon.

"But it's still proving quite difficult with the conditions".

The blaze, which began on Tuesday, jumped Tableland Road at 4.30pm (AEST) on Friday.

The Queensland Fire and Rescue Service says residents along Mitchell Road who evacuated their homes have been allowed to return, but have been warned to remain alert.

Fire crews will remain on the scene and conduct backburning operations through the night as work continues to strengthen containment lines.
