Sixteen Queensland Fire and Rescue Service personnel, including six trucks, were on scene as well as police officers from around 1.30pm when the blaze was reported. Crews were able to access the bush land area near Gliderport and off Thompson Road where the fire was burning due to well-kept council access roads in the area.

Crews left the scene at around 4.45pm but some small parts of the blaze continued to smoulder overnight.
