16.01.2022 Some parts of the state have a ‘Very High’ fire danger rating (FDR) for the next few days. So, what the heck does the term FDR even mean? If a fire were to occu...r under these conditions then it may be difficult to control and the flames could burn into the tree tops. Some homes and businesses may be damaged or destroyed, and you should only use your home as a place of safety if it is well-prepared and well-constructed. Experts use this tool to assess the potential fire behaviour, how difficult it could be to suppress a fire, and the potential impact on the community should a bushfire occur.

13.01.2022 Today we will pause to remember the life of Sam McPaul, a volunteer from the Morven Brigade, who lost his life while protecting the community on this day last y...ear. Sam, a young father to be, was killed when a freak weather event flipped the fire truck he was on while battling fires in southern NSW. Commissioner Rob Rogers will today broadcast a message of support to volunteers in the area today, and they will hold a moment's silence to reflect. Tomorrow, we will also remember the passing of Colin Burns from the Belowra Brigade, who lost his life on New Years Eve last year. 25 people lost their lives last bush fire season - our most challenging fire season in our history. We remember all of them at this time of year.

12.01.2022 Today is Firefighters Remembrance Day, a time to pay tribute to firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Today, we will come together to honour their memory and acknowledge the immense sacrifices they, their families and their communities have made. Around the state, QFES flags will be flown at half-mast to honour and remember them. The Commissioner Greg Leach Please pause to remember our fallen hero’s at 10:00am on the 10th day of the 10th month. We will remember them!

07.01.2022 Queensland’s aerial firefighting capability has soared to new heights with the addition of a Large Air Tanker (LAT) to the QFES fleet. The LAT is based at Bunda...berg Airport and can operate at many regional airports throughout the State. It can travel about 670km/hr and land with 80% of its load on board. The LAT weighs in at around 31,000kg and it has a retardant capacity of 10,000L! Check out this video to see the LAT in action at the official launch today.

07.01.2022 Yesterday, Boyne Valley Rural Fire Brigade hosted a Port Curtis group meeting. Pat N Errol Noye (Pat is our rep at the Rural Fire Brigades Association of Queens...land) attended and brought one six brand new Toyota 4wd's specifically built as fire fighting units by RFBAQ for us to look at. It is state of the art, produced by our association (a charity). The units will go to some of the 650 brigades in Qld not supplied with a truck.They supply their own vehicles at the moment when on fires. We were asked to fill out review forms about the vehicle.
