Bushfire-affected residents have 'lost everything' as firefighters continue to battle massive Western Downs blazes

Firefighters are racing against time and harsh conditions to contain fast-moving bushfires in the Western Downs.

Several residents from Queensland's Western Downs are still unable to return to their homes after frantic evacuations in dangerous bushfire conditions. 

Multiple fires are burning across the region, but authorities have been focused on large and destructive blazes near Miles, Tara and Jandowae over the past few days.
