QUEENSLAND Fire and Rescue Service commissioner Lee Johnson says there is no risk of coal seam gas wells exploding in Queensland bush fires.
Mr Johnson told a meeting of the Surat Basin Engagement Group in Brisbane that while CSG well infrastructure could be damaged or even set alight in a fire, there was no risk on explosion.
He warned that, based on current fuel loads, Queensland was currently facing a similar extreme fire risk to the mid-1970s.
