Samsonvale Rural Fire Brigade

22/04/2026

Samsonvale Rural Fire Brigade crews have been actively supporting the hazard reduction burn at D’Aguilar this week alongside QPWS and fellow brigades.

As QFD says — bushfire preparation is a team effort. Now is the time to clear debris around your home, create your Bushfire Survival Plan, and prepare an emergency kit.

📎 See Queensland Fire Department’s full post below.

🔥 Last night our crews were out supporting local landowners with two large stack burns in the Samsonvale area.

Stack burns are an important part of land management — clearing debris safely and reducing fuel loads before fire season. Our volunteers were on hand with two appliances to ensure everything went to plan.
If you’re planning a burn on your property, please make sure you:

✅ Check current fire danger ratings before you light
✅ Notify neighbours and your local brigade
✅ Have water and tools ready on site
✅ Never leave a burn unattended

Proud to serve our community. 🧡

Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service (QPWS) intend to undertake a hazard reduction burn (weather permitting) commencing, Tuesday, 10 February to Friday, 13 February. The hazard reduction burn will be taking place in the Kobble Creek area of D’Aguilar National Park.

This burn has a total area of approximately 146ha.



Ignition will commence at approximately 10:00 am Tuesday, 10 February, with crews working to late evening and be returning the following days to patrol the area. As a result, smoke will the seen in Mount Glorious, Kobble Creek, Samsonvale, Laceys Creek and Armstrong Creek areas.

The following areas are restricted to the public during lighting operations and the following days; Lepidozamia Break, Middle Kobble Break, Kobble North Break, Raynbird Creek Break. There will also be an increase on the amount of QPWS vehicles on these roads whilst firefighting activities and patrolling are taking place.



The aim of this burn is to reduce the volume of forest fuels and to create a mosaic pattern of burnt and unburnt areas. This will help reduce the intensity of any subsequent bushfire and provide favourable conditions for natural forest revegetation.

Smoke can decrease visibility on the roads, so it is important that motorist drive safely to the conditions.

Please observe signage and barriers and do not enter closed areas and follow directions from Rangers. Safety is our concern but your responsibility. Please contact QPWS for more information.

Attached below is an image of the burn.
