25.01.2022 Come down and have a look at our 'Fire Hay-drant' at the Kalbar Fire Station! Even though we might struggle to get water from this one, its an important reminder to ensure that if you have a hydrant on your property its clear and visible for the Firies to use!

24.01.2022 A perfect afternoon for a HRB down near Pennell's Crossing! Its perfect weather to reduce the risk around your home, whether it be cleaning gutters, tidying up gardens or slashing fire breaks. Please contact us if you have any queries!

22.01.2022 Tragic news. Thoughts are with the Families, Friends Witnesses and Emergency Service personnel on scene.

22.01.2022 MAJOR RAIN EVENT As we have all seen and heard by now there is a significant weather event unfolding with an undetermined timeframe. Many roads are cut around Kalbar and the surrounding areas, please stay informed if you are in a low lying area and please remember; if its flooded, FORGET IT! For the point of truth on all road closures and conditions, the Scenic Rim Disaster Dashboard has all the information you need. Sources like Kalbar Community Group and other pages are... also a good source for more local information but these sites are sometimes not monitored. http://disasterdashboard.scenicrim.qld.gov.au/ Picture - Washpool Gully on Boonah Fassifern Road at 9am this morning.
