19.01.2022 TOTAL FIRE BAN: that means no fires until midnight Monday Sept 28. It's going to be a bad weekend - wind, little humidity, warmer - so do some last minute cleaning up and get your plan ready. No fires.
18.01.2022 The wind over the last week has really dried things out and spread flammable rubbish everywhere, so take some time this week to do tidy-up and revisit your fire plans. If you don't have a fire plan, you can start one here - first step is to work out your level of risk. In our area, EVERYONE is at risk. We can not stress that enough. https://www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au/BushFire_Sa//default.aspx... The fire danger rating for our area is now 'High', so we've got our bags ready...
16.01.2022 Grassfires are the bogeyman this season, so make sure you have your firebreaks graded (or at least mown)...and you might want to make them pretty wide after you watch this clip showing how fast a grassfire can go. It looks like rain on Friday, but it won't take long to dry out afterward... https://twitter.com/i/status/1290123709051592704
15.01.2022 Drones can cause headaches for firefighting, so resist the urge to sightsee... https://www.abc.net.au//drones-hamper-bushfire-op/12766846
15.01.2022 The science, challenges and changing world of bushfire mitigation in Queensland is explained by the experts in a new documentary produced by QFES. The Burning Question will be launched on Friday. Tune in!
14.01.2022 Update Friday 11am: We're keeping a crew there to make sure the smouldering timber doesn't send an ember off in the wind. Merritt's Creek people, you might see some smoke from a fire at the southern end of Merritt's Creek Road. Five crews attended and they are just mopping up now, so should be finished soon. No rain on the horizon, so time to polish your fire plans...
10.01.2022 We're still in fire season and if this La Nina ever arrives, we'll have a few storms, so it's time to Get Ready. Only three simple steps...(they're only wafer thin!) https://www.getready.qld.gov.au/
07.01.2022 The window is closing... If you're thinking about doing some burning off before this year's fire season, you'd better get onto it, the window has just about closed. You'll need a permit for any burn that is bigger than 2m x 2m. You can download a permit form here and also get the details of our local fire warden who will process your application.... https://www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au//Obtaining-a-Permit-to-Li
06.01.2022 We're heading into that time of year again...
05.01.2022 Queensland is almost one month into the 2020 bushfire season, with parts of the state already experiencing fire activity. Gold Coast Rural Fire Service (RFS) cr...ews were kept busy over the weekend at the Springbrook fire. Now’s the time to ask yourself: is my family and property prepared for bushfire season?

04.01.2022 Fire season is still going and storm season is about to start - so a good way to find out what to do to prepare is to watch Big Weather on the ABC tomorrow night at 8.30pm. Our very own Wayne Waltisbuhl gives some great advice on fire preparation.
03.01.2022 This rain will soon have the weeds invading the fire breaks that you pushed during last year's fires, so make sure you keep them clear - it's the time of year we need to start getting ready for fire season again!
03.01.2022 Update: All done and dusted. Hi Mt Luke people, we have a report of a fire in the HQ Plantations forest in Aberdein Road west of the grid. Our truck is out there now. Luckily, the HQ team has already mowed and burned off ready for the season...
01.01.2022 What's your current bushfire risk? Check this QFES map to find out. Dark pink is an area that is right in or near country that can carry dangerous fire. If you put in the postcode 4352, it will take you to the southern edge of this massive area, so just move the map to get to the northern end where we are.
