THERE are serious concerns for the koala population around Salamander Bay after a fire tore through the Mambo Wetlands.
The bushfire, which has been described as "unusual" by the Rural Fire Service, ignited on Tuesday. Flames moved through more than 50 hectares within 24 hours and RFS ground crews remained on scene for two days to ensure that wind conditions did not pick up and send the fire back towards homes along Salamander Way.
