Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service were alerted to an allegedly illegal campfire within the Duling camp zone of Eastern Beach, north of Orange Creek, on October 14. Police said the rangers arrived and found a campfire that was covered in sand and radiating heat. The out-of-control bushfire was allegedly sparked after native vegetation caught alight from the campfire, spreading to the north west of the campsite.
