SOME North Stradbroke Island residents could be forced to leave their homes as a large bushfire races towards them.
The Queensland Fire and Emergency Service is advising residents near Myora Springs and Gatumba Street on the island's northwest coast to enact their bushfire plans.
An alert said a large bushfire was located near Brown Lake at 12.30pm (AEST) and was heading for Myora Springs, fanned by strong winds.
"The large, fast-moving bushfire is travelling in a northwesterly direction and is expected to impact the area of Myora Springs in the next two hours," said the alert, which was issued at 1pm (AEST).
There are three properties in the area, according to the Department of Community Safety.
"This fire is moving quickly and firefighters are experiencing difficulty in controlling it," the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services alert continued.
"Spot fires may occur ahead of the fire front and embers are also being thrown from the fire."
Residents have been told to be prepared to relocate and warned leaving is the safest option.
Seventeen fire crews remain on the sand island to battle the blaze, which was started by a lightning strike nine days ago.
No homes have been affected but the fire prompted the evacuation of about 900 campers on New Year's Day.
