'Hard landing': Water-bombing helicopter crash lands fighting as fires rage across Queensland

In addition to Noosa North Shore, other"leave now" warnings are for Kilkivan and for a large fire burning in difficult terrain near the five-star Spicers Peak Lodge on the Southern Downs.Resort managers knew some days ago that fire would likely threaten the property, and began advising guests not to keep their bookings.Authorities are most concerned about the sheer size and number of fires burning in parched land that is difficult to access.

Mayor Greg Christensen fears another black day, two months on from September fires that destroyed 11 homes and the historic Binna Burra Lodge in the hinterland and Scenic Rim."With the volatility of the wind, the extreme temperatures and the pre-heating already of the fuels, events can unfold very rapidly and we're stressing the urgency of being prepared," he said.It has claimed 13 of the 14 houses lost in Queensland since late last week.

"We've got really hot, we've got really dry, windy conditions," the Bureau of Meteorology's Victoria Dodds said.Conditions are expected to ease on Thursday, but temperatures are heating up further into the weekend.

Oh, there's a much bigger story than that now. Rewriting history is kind of a big deal.
