After a weekend of fighting fires in the Southeast the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service (QFRS) is urging Brisbane residents to be vigilant with heightened fire conditions predicted for this week.

Soaring temperatures kept fire crews busy at the weekend battling a number of blazes across Queensland, and authorities suggest more could be in store for the Brisbane region this week.

The increased fire activity across the State over the weekend has the QFRS urging residents in the Brisbane region to make sure they were doing all they could to prepare their homes and properties.

QFRS Regional Manager of Rural Operations for Brisbane Region Bernard Trembath says hot, dry weather conditions and a high to very high fire danger for parts of Brisbane Region, particularly in the western areas create ideal conditions for fires to spark.

"We're expecting high to very high fire danger for parts of Brisbane Region, particularly in the western areas."

"High temperatures combined with low humidity and strong winds make conditions perfect for fires to spark and spread quickly.

"These conditions also make it very difficult to contain vegetation fires, so we're asking residents to take extra care and be alert," Mr Trembath says.

Regional Manager of Rural Operations QFRS for the Southeast region, Ferg Adrian says a number of fires burning in the Southeast over the weekend are burning in inaccessible terrain, but most are under control.

"Most fires are [under control], they're being monitored."

A fire near Laidley in the Lockyer Valley, which started on Saturday, is still burning but authorities say it is within containment lines and it is not threatening any property.

Mr Adrian says the other fires burning in the region, which are causing a smoky haze in some areas, could impact commuters in some areas.

"There will be some activity on the Greenbank fire today, along the Centenary Highway between Springfield and towards Ripley."

"We'd ask that motorists avoid the area if they can today. The weather conditions today may drive smoke across that road today."

He says last night's efforts to contain the fire during back burning operations were hindered by a storm that passed through.

Back burning efforts will continue along the back of a number of properties on Monday.

QFRS say there is another fire burning out towards Cunningham Gap and in the Southwest crews are monitoring areas towards Crows Nest.

A number of fires continue burning across Queensland, with Central Western residents also being urged to prepare for high fire danger.

"We have some very dry weather conditions, and it's been a long time since we've had any effective rain, so our vegetation is very, very dry," Mr Adrian says.

Preparing your bushfire survival plan

QFRS Mitigation and Education Officer Gary McCormack says considering a Bushfire Survival Plan will greatly increase your preparedness this bushfire season.

"The reason why you should prepare a Bushfire Survival Plan is because circumstances in bushfire events can change very quickly, very dynamically and without warning.

"A Bushfire Survival Plan will give you the ability to plan if your intention is to leave or if your intention is to stay."

Mr McCormack says preparing around your home prior to the bushfire season may help reduce the risk to your property.

"To prepare your property for the threat of bushfire, you need to look at the risk around your home.

"The biggest fuel trap in any home is the gutter. Clean your gutters on a regular basis."
