A LARGE blaze on the Darling Downs, west of Brisbane, could reach homes by 3.00pm.
The fire has burnt 400 hectares of land near the Gore Highway at The Pines, about 120km west of Toowoomba, at noon (AEST) on Friday.
Firefighters are warning locals to prepare for possible evacuations with the blaze predicted to reach their homes in the next two to six hours.
Homes along Flamingo, Rosella, Peacock, Yagaburne-Boondandilla and Pine Ridge roads are expected to be affected.
"Residents are strongly advised to be prepared to relocate to a safer area if required," the latest Queensland Fire and Rescue Service alert says.
"Leaving is the safest option for survival in a bushfire."
Those who don't have a safe place to run to are being advised to head for the Millmerran Sports Centre on Commens Street at Millmerran.
The fire took hold on Thursday, south of the town.
At one stage it threatened homes in the Wattle Ridge area. Crews were able to contain it but not before it destroyed a van and a shed.
