Resident Bec Salmon, who lives on the neighbouring road, said they were alerted to the fire after hearing a loud bang at about 9.30pm.

"There was a very loud bang like a gunshot which I assumed was fireworks or a bunger," she said.

"I didn't think much of it but then I looked up from the TV about five minutes later out the front door and could see two trees alight."

The fire caught on a dry patch of land with trees along a closed off stretch Harris Road.

Ms Salmon said she ran over to the blaze with others in her home carrying buckets of water to extinguish the flames.

"Krissi, who lives up the road, had brought her long hose down too and was using neighbours taps for water," she said.

Another resident, Krissi Roberts, said she was in bed when she heard the bang and as fire crackers are sometimes let off around the area she didn't think too much of it.

"It was really loud this time though so I actually got up and looked out the window and down the road I could see a tree on fire so I just grabbed my phone and my husband and I both ran out in bare feet," she said.

"By the time we got down two trees were fully alight and I was banging on doors along the way to raise someone but couldn't get anyone.

"Lucky I have a micro flower farm at home so I had heaps of hoses and watering cans and things so I ran back and got that and then ran to the fire again and hooked the hose up to a neighbouring house's water."

Mrs Roberts said the wind was blowing in the opposite direction to normal, meaning the flames were headed towards homes.

"It was really strong winds last night too so it was quite scary," she said.

"My husband went down this morning too and saw sparklers and things lying around so it was probably crackers and that kind of thing."

According to Ms Salmon, three Rural Fire Service crews arrived after the blaze had already been extinguished.

"It was very scary as it is so dry in that area, and it was so close to our homes and there were embers everywhere," she said.

"Krissi and her husband were the real heroes though.

"We really do live in a great community, coming together when it's needed most."

A Turvey Park Fire and Rescue spokesperson confirmed the incident was a small grass fire sparked by a fire cracker, and Rural Fire Service were unavailable for further comment.
