Local Fire Ban Declaration

Hi all, a fire ban is in force from midnight tonight to midnight Monday for most of southern QLD, including Noosa.

As the fancy electronic sign on McKinnon seems to be... shall we say, misleading, we have had printed 2 new signs printed and our members will put them up under the sign manually to make it obvious.

Again, all fire permits have already been suspended, and a total fire ban is in place for all day Monday.

Cooroibah RFB would like offer a heartfelt thanks to Chris, Fiona and the whole community that got together to raise much needed funds for us this weekend past.

Your generous donations will be put to work straight away as we were able to accept an outstanding quote for a new fast fill system at the station for our appliances when they return to station from a fire. This will greatly assist our tired crews to prepare and restock the trucks after returning from callouts.

Small fire from lake thru bushland foreshore this afternoon. Tinbeerwah and Cooroibah rf brigades attending and stopped the spread to wider bushland and nearby houses. It’s dry out there so be careful with sparks and open fires.

Power outage last night as result of a tree in ringtail bringing down the lines and sparking what might have been a major fire. Boreen point, Cooroibah, 3 urban trucks and a lot of qld Parks and wildlife trucks fought the blaze to keep it contained in ringtail until 1 am this morning. It won’t be the last one in these increasingly droughty conditions. Stay alert
