| Smoke from the Pierces Creek blaze continues to tower over Canberra trees. |
Emergency crews began door-knocking residents in Canberra on Friday in a pre-emptive move to alert homeowners living near an out-of-control bushfire southwest of Canberra.
A school was evacuated as firefighters fought a 113-hectare bushfire at Pierce Creek, 8 kilometres from the nearest suburb.
Emergency Services Commissioner Dominic Lane said winds are expected to pick up, making it difficult for firefighters to stop the blaze from spreading as it heads in a southeasterly direction.
