FIREFIGHTERS are confident they'll have a dangerous bushfire burning in Queensland's Western Downs under control on Friday night.
Fire crews and water bombing helicopters continued to tackle the blaze at Halliford, southwest of Dalby, that caused the evacuation of a dozen rural properties on Thursday.
Crews spent Thursday night building containment lines after the fire blackened 21,000 hectares of forest and grassland in recent days.
Queensland Fire and Rescue Service rural director Peter Varley says a change in wind direction has helped and crews expect to have it "completely" within containment lines during the night.
"It came out of a densely forested area we suspect from a lightning strike," Mr Varley told AAP.
Fires burning around Mt Archer in central Queensland and south of Ipswich have also calmed down and are within containment lines.
"It looks good for the weekend; milder conditions, favourable wind directions and moisture in the air.
"I think some crews will be able to have a well-deserved break."
