Wrapping things up

As temperatures cool tonight, the fires across the states have been downgraded, but there are still high winds that are fanning flames and sending embers hundreds of metres.

That, combined with a dearth of rain in South-East Queensland and northern New South Wales, is making life difficult for firefighters.

All the fires in NSW have been downgraded, with fires in Bees Nest blaze, near Armidale, and Drake, Tenterfield, watch and act.

In Queensland, watch-and-act alerts are still in place for Beechmont in the Gold Coast hinterland, as well as Stanthorpe, including The Summit, and Applethorpe.

Strong winds are forecast tomorrow as well, so the risk is sadly still very real for these communities.

Please stay safe. We'll be back tomorrow.
