The *****, which started near the corner of Lower Denmark Road and Elleker-Grassmere Road and is moving in a northerly direction, was first reported at 11am on Tuesday by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions and Parks and Wildlife.

There is currently no threat to lives or homes, but DBCA is urging people to avoid the area.
