25.01.2022 If you are uncertain whether you need a permit or not, please contact your local Fire Warden for further clarification. Fire Warden Finder - https://www.rural...fire.qld.gov.au/Pages/fw_finder.aspx There are 2,600 Fire Wardens in Queensland and the vast majority of them are volunteers. When asking for a permit, please thank them for what they do for us.

24.01.2022 There are a number of fires in our region at the moment, all contributing to the smoke and ash....there are 14 fire trucks - including our 71, water bomber and excavator all.dealing with the fire on Churchill Mines Rd, as well as the continuing fire on Fraser. If you are affected by smoke, keep windows and doors shut.

24.01.2022 It's been windy this week on the back of a dry spell. Rural Fire Brigades are there to help you, but you must make an effort to help yourself as well. Now is the perfect time to assess your property.

24.01.2022 Our new shade sails are installed, it will be nice to have shade for our members!

24.01.2022 Good morning, Queensland! Did the Easter Bunny hop by your place overnight? We hope E.B. knew where to find you, and we hope if you ever need our help, we’ll b...e able to find you too! Knowing your whereabouts is crucial when calling Triple Zero (000). It might seem like a no-brainer, but to be egg-stra safe, ensure the whole household knows your street number, street name and suburb name of your home address. You can also think about descriptions such as nearby streets, shops and landmarks. Stay safe and have a happy Easter

15.01.2022 You may have Queensland’s Large Air Tanker (LAT) Bomber 141 deploy to lend a hand with firefighting efforts on Fraser Island (K'gari) today. The LAT has ma...de three drops in front of the fire as a way to aid ground crews from QFES and QPWS as they work to strengthen containment lines and slow the progress of the blaze. Capable of a cruise speed (loaded) up to 670km/h, this LAT gets from its Bundaberg base to assist crews on scene in less than 20 minutes. See more

01.01.2022 This is the view from Burrum Heads this afternoon of the fires burning on Fraser Island. An illegal campfire causes this on 14th October and it is still burning. Such a tragic waste of our National Park and so unnecessary.

01.01.2022 Smoke from the fire on Fraser Island continues to fill our horizon. Crews are back burning on the island, but there is still a lot of smoke around - keep your windows and doors shut if you are affected by the smoke.
