🚒 Firefighters Remembrance Day | 10 October

Today, we pause to remember and honour the 60 Queensland firefighters who have made the ultimate sacrifice while protecting our communities since 1877.

At 10am on the 10th day of the 10th month, we will reflect on their courage, dedication and selfless service, and remember the families, friends and colleagues who continue to carry their loss.

Firefighting is a profession defined by courage, compassion and sacrifice. Every day, our firefighters face dangerous and unpredictable situations in the service of others. Their commitment to keeping our communities safe will never be forgotten.

We also acknowledge the families of our fallen firefighters. They will always be part of our firefighting family, and we remain committed to honouring their loved ones and supporting them in the years ahead.

Today, stations and offices across Queensland will lower their flags to half-mast, with commemorative services and a minute’s silence observed across the state.

Wherever you are, I encourage you to take a moment at 10am to pause, reflect and pay tribute to those who gave so much in the service of others.

We remember their courage. We honour their sacrifice. We will never forget.

Lest we forget. 🖤💛❤️

For anyone finding this time difficult, support is available through the Fire and Emergency Services Support Network on 1800 805 980.

🔥 FIRE PERMITS SUSPENDED

All permits to light fires are suspended across Logan, Ipswich, Scenic Rim, Somerset and Lockyer Valley (including the Greenbank area) from 12:01am Saturday 26 September to 11:59pm Friday 9 October 2026, unless changed earlier.

The suspension is due to very dry conditions, high fire danger, recent escaped permitted burns and insufficient rains, which are placing extra pressure on firefighting resources.

🚫 Permit holders must not light fires during this suspension period.

The suspension may be extended, varied or revoked as conditions change.

📞 For more information, please contact our Fire Warden Kyle on 0493 015 939 and follow our page for ongoing updates.

(EDIT - This is a suspension of currently issued fire permits, not a fire ban as yet)

Today is Yellow Ribbon Day 🎗️, a day to recognise and thank the more than 27,000 Rural Fire Service Queensland volunteers who selflessly give their time to protect and support communities across our state.
With more than 1,400 Rural Fire Brigades defending 93% of Queensland, these volunteers are the frontline of our state's community defence. From preparing for bushfire season and educating their local communities to responding when Queenslanders need them most, they continually demonstrate courage, commitment, and dedication.

Behind every callout is someone who has left their family dinner, weekend plans, or a good night's sleep to help others. They volunteer because they care about their communities—not because they expect recognition.

Today, let's change that.

If you know an RFSQ volunteer, or if you've ever been helped by one, take a moment to say thank you. A few simple words of appreciation can mean a great deal to those who quietly give so much to keep Queenslanders safe.

Thank you to every Rural Fire Service Queensland volunteer for your selfless service. We appreciate everything you do. 💛🎗️
