Queensland Fire and Rescue and Rural Fire Service Queensland crews are well equipped and ready to respond. They’ve been busy preparing and assisting Queenslanders over the past few days but just like the community, our crews will bunker down during the most severe weather so responses may be impacted while the cyclone passes through. Teams have been strategically positioned across areas expected to be impacted and will be out to assist the community as soon as it is safe. Finalise your plans now

Today we have a MODERATE fire danger rating. What you can do: Plan and prepare. You can review your bushfire survival plan (or make a new one) and monitor the situation for any changes. Stay up to date and be ready to act if there is a fire. If you need to light a fire and it is more than 2m in any direction, then you will need to obtain a permit from your local fire warden. You can find your local warden and their contact details here: https://www.fire.qld.gov.au/safety-education/using-fire-out

Great news, a lot of excitement in the House and Big news for our Rural Fire Brigades! 🚒 We have changed the Law to provide autonomy to our Rural Firies. This change means our local brigades can act quickly on their own initiative, even when communication channels are down, ensuring help gets to those who need it most. Have a listen to my speech explaining why this amendment is so important for our communities and our volunteers. 👏 Thank you to all our Rural Fire Service Queensland (RFSQ) volu
