Increased fire danger forecast in Qld

Dry thunderstorms are expected to increase Queensland's fire danger this week, causing increasingly challenging conditions for emergency services after 10 days of battling blazes. Forecasters warn thunderstorms are unlikely to bring much rain, but could result in lightening strikes hitting the ground in already very dry areas. A total fire ban remains in place as firefighters work to control dozens of fires burning across the state. Image: News Corp Australia / Supplied
