AN ENVIRONMENTALIST says coal seam gas fires would soon become a common occurence on the Darling Downs, as one blaze continued to burn overnight.
The blaze, which started a small bush fire yesterday morning, is under control but still burning.
About 5.30am firefighters were called to Daandine coal seam gas field, west of Dalby, to find a small grass fire stretching 20m.
After the fire was contained emergency services found the source of the blaze - a mining exploration hole leaking methane. And the hole is still ablaze.
