Qld: Water bombing helicopters called in to tame bush fire

Two water bombing helicopters and four rural fire crews are fighting a large blaze
west of Brisbane.

About 20 hectares of bush is on fire at Fernvale.

An emergency services spokeswoman says the terrain's largely inaccessible to vehicles
.. but the fire's not threatening homes at this stage.

A total fire ban remains in place in southern Queensland because of extreme fire conditions.
