Upper Flagstone Rural Fire Brigade

Upper Flagstone Rural Fire Brigade Like our page or better still come join us! All training provided! 2nd Monday of the month, 7pm lower station. Become a volunteer firefighter.

If you’re looking for a permit, call Len our Fire Warden on 0429 612 345 Members of the Rural Fire Service Queensland and your local rural fire brigade provide a range of services to help keep Queensland Communities safe. Fighting Fires:

Rural Fire Brigades respond to the outbreak of fires within their local area and in surrounding areas in support of other rural fire brigades and emergency servi

ce workers. Fire Prevention:

Rural Fire Brigades, in conjunction with Rural Fire Service Queensland staff, undertake a range of planning and preparation activities throughout the year to ensure communities are well prepared for the fire season. One of these activities is hazard reduction burns. Hazard reduction burns use fire to reduce excess vegetation and minimise the potential for bushfires to get out of control. Community Education:

There is an increasing awareness that timely and effective fire prevention and education saves lives and property. Rural fire brigade members deliver a range of community education programs within their communities. The local knowledge held by members of the brigades, along with their knowledge of fire behaviour and prevention, ensure the community gets information and education specific to their circumstances. Permits to Light Fire:

The Rural Fire Service Queensland controls the use of fire by not allowing fires to be lit without a specific permit. Fire Wardens and authorised fire officers manage the permit to light fire system. A permit to light fire is required for any fire that exceeds two metres in any direction and can be acquired free of charge from a fire warden. Deployments and assistance during disasters:

Rural Fire Service Queensland volunteers are often sent on deployment to assist other states during fire disasters. Members are also called upon to assist other emergency service agencies during disasters such as floods and storms.

Fire season is coming so brigade training included a service of our drip-torches. A mixture of petrol and diesel is lit and applied (in drips or a stream) to the area that needs to be burnt. A very valuable tool for our firefighters.

We're extremely grateful to a passerby who reported a fire in our area late last night. Their quick thinking led to a prompt response from our brigade and QPS. Special thanks to the dedicated Toowoomba-based volunteer who got out of bed and accompanied me to the scene.👌

Attn Upper Flagstone community, we can do better than 2.3% Our target is for 5%, that would be incredible!! (For us and you) We only need 10 more residents committed to the safety of our community, ideally these would be busy people, people that have drive, work hard and are able to manage their time effectively. Admittedly it's not for everyone but if you have experienced the surge of adrenalin, enjoy an organised team environment and are passionate to help others in need, call us or come out to chat with us on training night, 2nd Monday of the month, (self starters will find our info on this page). Challenge Yourself.

Brigade training is on this Monday night 4th May from 7pm

“Potential Firefighters” are most welcome to come along to chat with our members and view our training exercises.

We never expect 100% availability from anyone, however a little time from a lot of members makes a huge difference. Never doubt the value of your involvement.
