After an initial call to a Saw Dust Fire in Royalla, Queanbeyan 1 was diverted to a grass fire burning towards Queanbeyan from Fyshwick. Queanbeyan 7B and 7A were promptly responded to back them up, with units from Ridgway and Wamboin also in attendance.
Competing with significant traffic issues due to concurrent evacuatons, NSWRFS Units staged opposite MacDonalds, ensuring the fire did not cross Gladstone Street. Burning a toxic combination of waste, metal and grass, the fire was quickly controlled by ACTFB/RFS units and NSWRFS resources returned to their local areas.
