25.01.2022 137 THEODORE RD, Kurwongbah There is a vegetation fire at this location. Smoke may affect residents and motorists in the area. Residents should close their doors and windows and keep medication close by if suffering from a respiratory condition. Motorists should use caution and drive to conditions. If you believe your property is under threat, you should call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

25.01.2022 Dayboro RFB will be conducting a small Hazard Reduction Burn at rush creek tomorrow (Saturday 5th September) which may result in smoke in the area - see map below for approx location. All neighbours have been notified.

24.01.2022 Some images of our firefighters undertaking off-road training with the DDRFB fire trucks today. Pretty good day for it! winter sky's and farm horizons.

23.01.2022 Some photos of the Dayboro Fire Brigade conducting a hazard reduction burn over 12 acres at Rush Creek on Saturday. Fire season is just around the corner, and soon the days will be heating up with lots of fuel on the ground from the wet weather we have enjoyed this winter. Now is the perfect time to assess your property for fire risk and review your fire plan. If you need assistance or advice, don't hesitate to contact your local brigade.

23.01.2022 Great advice from our friends at Closeburn fire brigade

23.01.2022 Dayboro rural fire brigade, along with Dayboro QFES and local property owners worked to contain and extinguish a fire down Rowe Rd, Lacey’s creek this afternoon.

22.01.2022 Day 3 of National Volunteer Week #NVW2020 we'd like to put the spot light on one of our extremely dedicated and humble volunteers - Lee Tapper. Well known to the community of Dayboro, Lee wears many hats, and that’s just in DDRFB alone! Lee is our Volunteer Community Educator (VCE), the brigade secretary and a senior firefighter, but you won’t hear Lee touting her credentials (or even her QLD 2014 volunteer of the year award), instead, she sees her role as being part of the g...reater team I am part of an awesome team of volunteers that have all had an impact on my volunteering years no matter whether it has been big or small. Lee grew up on the land and has always loved the bush and from a very early age realized just how important it is to be reliant on a community for our very existence. To have the opportunity to give without reward has always been Lee’s sole purpose. Lee has been volunteering in the Dayboro / Ocean View community for 19 years. We asked her to say a few words about her volunteering journey and what matters to her: My journey to date is hard to condense in a few words. It has been kind of the sponge effectgaining so much valuable knowledge from the very senior local volunteers of our Rural Fire Service community who have guided me through the process of understanding fire behaviour and in parallel protecting and managing our fragile bushlands and community assets. These people have always remained my closest of friends whom I trust implicitly. It is for that reason I continue to volunteer as a legacy of their exceptional work to date. I have had so many wonderful opportunities to broaden my knowledge as a part of my time with the RFS, from not only working within my local brigade but extending to assisting other brigades within our region when added help has been required in managing a fire event., Working with other agencies for the purpose of preparedness and mitigation not only on a fireground but behind the scenes as part of Incident Management Teams as well. My greatest passion of late is working as a Volunteer Community Educator and this has taken me on deployment on several occasions throughout QLD not only to assist with flood / fire recovery but to be a part of a preparedness team before a pending natural disaster. Just to be given the opportunity to listen to and share the stories of those impacted for whatever reason touches my heart and sometimes recovery can start with something as simple as a hug. Being in Baffle Creek and Deepwater National Park area in late 2018 after a catastrophic fire event is one I will never forget. As long as my old bones can walk the hills I will remain as a volunteer. Thank you Lee for everything you do.

21.01.2022 MBRC is planning a burn down at Lacey's Creek next Thursday (13th August).

18.01.2022 To all our SES friends, we appreciate your service! Volunteering with the SES is another great way to serve your community, rain, hail, flooding and fires!

14.01.2022 Quite a bit of smoke around in the valley today, some smoke will be left over from the MBRC Hazard reduction burn (HRB) yesterday and they are also doing a small burn on Wurth Rd Laceys Ck. OceanView Brigade are also doing a HRB today. With rains expected tomorrow, the smoke is likely to only be around today.

14.01.2022 This is something that we've not seen for quite a number of months - a return to Very High Fire Danger. Daily Fire Danger Ratings can be found at: https://www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au/Pages/FDR.aspx

13.01.2022 It's R U OK? Day Although some of us might not be able to hold our usual R U OK? Day morning tea due to COVID-19 restrictions, we can still take the opportunity to stop and reflect. When someone seems out of sorts, a friend or colleague reaching out to ask Are you okay? helps break down the stigma that can hold people back from getting support.... It’s not always obvious when someone is struggling they may appear strong or composed on the outside. When we create meaningful connections within our teams at work, we can understand each other better and read the signs that someone isn’t doing so well. Asking Are you okay? can lead to deep and sometimes difficult conversations, so it’s important to be prepared. Follow this link to learn more about asking people.. https://www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask

13.01.2022 Hi Folks, Please take note of the heightened fire risk moving into the weekend, particularly on Saturday - SEVERE. It is very dry at the moment and days are warm. If you haven't reviewed your fire plan, now is the time to do it. Also note if you are travelling west over the weekend, there is a LOCAL FIRE BAN in place from 00:01am Wednesday 23 September for residents in the Logan, Scenic Rim, Ipswich, Lockyer Valley and Somerset local government areas.... For more info on FDR ratings go to https://www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au/Pages/FDR.aspx VERY HIGH:A fire with a 'very high' danger rating is a fire that can be difficult to control, with flames that may burn into the tree tops. During a fire of this type, some homes and businesses may be damaged or destroyed. During a fire with a 'very high' danger rating, you should use your home as a place of safety only if it is well-prepared and well-constructed. SEVERE: A fire with a 'severe' rating may be uncontrollable and move quickly, with flames that may be higher than roof tops. A 'severe' fire may cause injuries and some homes or businesses may be destroyed. During a fire with a 'severe' rating, leaving is the safest option for your survival. Use your home as a place of safety only if it is well-prepared and well-constructed.

03.01.2022 As we approach fire season it is a timely reminder to spread the word about what fires do and do not require permits and the responsibilities of those managing these fires. See the attached images for information specific to the following types of fires: > cooking / bbq / campfire > Small 2 x 2 x 2 pile > Burning off of grass, stubble, weeds and undergrowth (Permit required)... > Exemptions It is extremely important to assess the risks before lighting up regardless of whether it is for cooking, campfire or a small stack burn. You must remain in attendance whilst there is active fire and ensure adequate precautions are taken to prevent the spread of fire, such as having water on standby and readily accessible. We have seen multiple permitted fires recently with no one in attendance. Your fire, you are are responsible.

02.01.2022 We are due to experience very high fire danger ratings across the weekend. Please ensure you thoroughly assess your risks if considering any permitted types of fire on your property this weekend. The Fire Danger Rating (FDR) is an early indicator of potential danger and should act as your first trigger for action. The higher the rating, the greater the need for you to act. The FDR is an assessment of the potential fire behaviour, the difficulty of suppressing a fire and the ...potential impact on the community should a bushfire occur on a given day. A fire with a 'very high' danger rating is a fire that can be difficult to control, with flames that may burn into the tree tops. During a fire of this type, some homes and businesses may be damaged or destroyed. During a fire with a 'very high' danger rating, you should use your home as a place of safety only if it is well-prepared and well-constructed.

02.01.2022 Dayboro RFB assisted parks last night at a fire in the D’Aguilar National Park Mount Mee. This is likely the cause of the smoke you may have woken up to in the valley this morning.

01.01.2022 The Australian Seasonal Bushfire Outlook: September - November 2020 has been released. https://www.bnhcrc.com.au/hazardnotes/77 Now is a great time to think about your Bushfire Survival Plan.
