24.01.2022 Calliope Rural is holding our AGM /General meeting Saturday 5th September at 2pm

23.01.2022 LOCAL FIRE BAN EXTENDED Central Region Due to heightened fire conditions and lack of widespread rainfall, a local fire ban has been extended for the follo...wing Local Government Areas: Central Highlands Isaac Mackay Whitsunday Woorabinda Banana Gladstone Livingstone Rockhampton For residents in these areas, the ban will remain in place until 2359 hours Friday 20 December 2019.

21.01.2022 Stand proud, Rural Fire Service (RFS) volunteers it’s RFS Week. From 7-13 June we will celebrate their hard work and dedication! All year round, our RFS volunteers go above and beyond during fire, flood and cyclone, and this week we say ‘THANK YOU!’

16.01.2022 Today is Fire fighter Remembrance Day.... On the 10th Day of the 10th Month, As the Station Bell tolls, We will remember them.... What all Firefighters and their families potentially face, regardless of whether they’re full time, part time or volunteer, every day, is the fact that they may not come home. Last years’ Black Summer Bushfires demonstrated that clearly. While fortunately, no Queensland firefighters made the ultimate sacrifice in the 19-20 fire season, it came close for some. One day a year, we pause to remember those who gave everything in the line of duty, fighting to protect others, dying to protect others. Their legacy lives on. Each and every day, firefighters face uncertainty they often sacrifice their own safety to protect lives and properties in our communities, and they display a unique courage in doing so. On the 10th day of the 10th month, please honour their memory, acknowledge their supreme sacrifice and remember them and their contributions to the community. Rest Easy Brothers, your shift has ended Full Time, Part Time, Volunteer all going forward to defend all of Queensland.
