21.01.2022 THURSDAY TUTORIAL TIME If you could contact one person today, who would it be? Why not make it your local fire warden and apply for a Permit to Light Fire? ...Conducting a hazard reduction burn on your property will help stop a bushfire from starting and spreading. Not sure if you need a permit to light a fire? Fires that don’t need a permit are: Less than two metres in any direction. Lit outdoors in a proper fireplace for the purpose of cooking (e.g. BBQ and camp fires) Certain fires used by primary producers and for industrial purposes. See more

19.01.2022 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.
