PREPARE TO LEAVE: Lowmead (near Miriam Vale) bushfire as at 1.55pm Mon 19 Aug
Bushfire warning level: WATCH AND ACT
The previous bushfire warning has changed.
Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) advises there is a bushfire in Lowmead and conditions could get worse.
You need to be ready to follow your bushfire survival plan. If you do not have a plan, or intend to leave, you should be ready to leave the area because the situation could get worse quickly.
Currently, as at 1.50pm Monday 19 August, a large fire is travelling from Seeds Road towards Mitchell Road, Lowmead. The fire is likely to impact Seeds Road and Mitchell Road.
Fire crews are working to contain the fire but firefighters may not be able to protect every property. You should not expect a firefighter at your door.
People in the area will be affected by smoke, which will reduce visibility and air quality.
Call Triple Zero (000) immediately if you believe your property is under threat.

It was an honour to be able to attend the Taroom for Vietnam Veterans Day which included the unveiling and dedication of their new monument.
Taroom RSL Sub-Branch received a grant through the Armistice Centenary Grants Program to Install the new War Memorial in Ludwig Leichhardt Park, Taroom.
The new monument will provide full recognition of soldiers from World War I, World War II, Vietnam, Timour, The Middle East and Afghanistan battles.
Applications are now open for the latest NDIS Information, Linkages and Capacity Building (ILC) program grant round.
If you are an organisation led by people with disability, for people with disability, you may be eligible to apply.
This program is unique in that it is for all Australians with a disability, not just NDIS participants, so I would encourage all eligible organisations in Flynn to apply today.
The grant round opens on Monday 19 August and closes at 11pm on Monday, 30 September 2019.
More information including assistance for organisations to develop their ILC grant pitch can be found at the NDIS website www.ndis.gov.au.
Grant applications can be submitted via the Community Grants Hub www.communitygrants.gov.au.
