Water bombers deployed to Stradbroke WATER bombing aircraft have again been deployed to help firefighters battling a large bushfire on North Stradbroke Island. The fire has burnt out more than half the island, off Brisbane, and flared once more on Tuesday when strong winds hit, forcing temporary evacuations. Firefighters worked throughout the night to strengthen containment lines and will use water bombing aircraft on Wednesday to extinguish fires they can't fight from the ground. "There's still visible fire but it is inaccessible," incident controller David Sutch told ABC Radio. Our crews ... are continuing to work on the containment lines and strengthening those containment lines. And then air support in the daylight hours will assist to put out the inaccessible areas that are burning. The bushfire, which has burnt out more than 14,000 hectares, is burning near Brown Lake. It was started by a lightning strike 10 days ago. No homes have been affected so far, but the fire prompted the evacuation of about 900 campers on New Year's Day. A number of residents was forced to flee when the fire came close to homes in Myora on Saturday night. There is currently no threat to property, however the fire is producing a large smoke haze, the Department of Community Safety says. Mr Sutch says firefighters hope favourable weather on Wednesday will allow them to get on top of the blaze. "We are hopeful we will get the upper hand early this morning," he said.
