Fraser Island could have been completely lost if professional firefighters had not taken control of the bushfire on November 27, emergency sources say. In an incredible admission, a senior firefighting source said control of the fire should have been handed from Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service to Queensland Fire and Emergency Service much sooner. The source said QPWS left the situation in a shambles and the organisation had a chance to put the fire out in October, but failed. Despite this, he said they didn t deserve the criticism they had received and more needed to be done to burn around resorts and the island s hot spots in the cooler months.
