24.01.2022 Last bushfire season was one of the worst ever, destroying homes and disrupting lives. Are you prepared for this season? Create a bushfire survival plan so you and your loved ones are prepared if bushfires strike. It only takes a few minutes. Share your bushfire survival plan with family and friends so everyone knows what actions to take.... There are simple steps you can take to prepare, like clearing gutters, reducing vegetation around your home and ensuring there is adequate access to your property. During bushfire season, it's important to know what's going on in your area. Even if you don't live anywhere near bushland, bushfires can affect you while you're on holidays or travelling. Make sure you tune into warnings, local media and QFES social media. Are you in the line of fire? Check your postcode and find out more at https://qld.gov.au/bushfires

03.01.2022 Its getting close to conditions for l local fire can. At this stage we have a current HIGH fire danger. Here is an excerpt from rural fire australia In Queensland, the use of fire can be restricted by imposing either a Local Fire Ban or a State of Fire Emergency. When it is predicted conditions and weather forecasts indicate that fires may be difficult to control and pose a danger to communities, the Commissioner of Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) or their dele...gate has the authority under the provisions of the Fire and Emergency Services Act 1990 to impose a local fire ban. When fire weather conditions become extremely dangerous, The Commissioner, QFES, with the approval of the Minister, can declare a State of Fire Emergency. Local Fire Bans are normally imposed over an entire local government area and prohibit the lighting of all or certain types of fires, depending on the severity of the emergency. (Gas and electric barbecues may be used). When fire bans are in place either as a local Fire Ban or during a State of Fire Emergency: The lighting of fires in the declared fire ban areas are prohibited subject to any special conditions or exemptions All open fires are prohibited All Permits to Light Fire issued in the designated area are cancelled. Fire bans are advertised widely and remain in force until cancelled. Information can also be obtained at any time by phoning free call 1800 020 440.
