Smoke from bushfires is blanketing Brisbane, triggering official air quality warnings across the city.

Authorities have issued the alert as smoke levels pose a potential health risk, particularly for residents with respiratory conditions. The warning covers the greater Brisbane area, where visible haze has reduced air quality to poor levels. Officials advise vulnerable people, including the elderly, young children, and those with asthma or heart disease, to limit outdoor activity. Residents are urged to keep windows closed and follow local health updates until conditions improve.
