About 20 people are being urged to prepare to evacuate their homes with a large bushfire already threatening some properties in Queensland's Western Downs region.
Firefighters have urged people living at Weir River, southwest of Dalby, to prepare to leave as they battle the fast-moving blaze.
They say the fire is burning on Cecil Plains Rd and Cecil Plains Moonie Rd near the Kumbarilla State Forest towards North Boondilla Boundary Rd, Colemans Rd and O'Connor Rd.
"Conditions could get worse quickly," the Queensland Fire and Emergency Service said in an alert on Wednesday.
"Firefighters are working to control the fire, however you should not expect a firefighter at your door. Firefighting aircraft may assist ground crews."
People living at the nearby Waar Waar Homestead, and anyone in Waar Waar State Forest and surrounding areas are urged to stay informed of the situation.
