FIRE crews are battling a grass fire that's closed a road southwest of Brisbane, as southern Queensland prepares for severe fire conditions.
Fifteen crews are trying to extinguish the blaze after it broke out about 7am (AEST) Sunday near Redbank Plains Road, Redbank Plains.
Firefighters are backburning, causing a large volume of smoke.
Redbank Plains Road has been closed between the Cunningham Highway and Collingwood Drive until the smoke subsides.
Meanwhile, all permits to light a fire have been cancelled indefinitely in the Warrego and Maranoa districts, in southern Queensland, amid soaring temperatures and blazing bushfires.
The Department of Community Safety said permits to light a fire in the Toowoomba, Southern Downs, Goondiwindi and Western Downs Regional Council areas have also been cancelled for the next 72 hours.
Large-scale fires are burning in the Warrego and Maranoa districts, with the majority of fire activity focused around Mitchell, Roma, Charleville, Wyandra, Cunnamulla and Thargomindah.
No homes are under threat.
The Bureau of Meteorology said on Sunday that there was a severe fire danger, with temperatures to reach up to 39 degrees with low humidity and 35 kilometre per hour winds.
Further advice on permits to light a fire will be issued on Wednesday.
