Kelly Casey managed to save two horses from the huge fire and other animals have been taken in by Canungra residents until it is safe to return home.
"We got the phone call early this morning that we needed to evacuate some horses from up on Binna Burra … so we went up and ended up bringing down a couple of horses and taking them to the Canungra showground," she said. "My neighbour has got two alpacas in her paddock at the moment and I think there are now about 16 horses at the showground.
"There've been dogs, cats and even chickens … no animal is being left behind, any that can be rescued are being saved.""I've been here seven years and every time something happens, they never cease to amaze me the people here, they're just so wonderful."We've got people who have collated lists of what locals can do to help, what services they can offer, rooms they can provide in their house for emergency accommodation, what animals they can take.
