🔥FIRE BAN - Monday 27th October 🔥

Hi folks,

As of midnight tonight (Sunday 26th October) and for 24 hours until midnight Monday night (27th October) there is a total fire ban in place over our region (and beyond!) due to forecast weather conditions.

When fire bans are in place either as a local Fire Ban or during a State of Fire Emergency:

🚫The lighting of fires in the declared fire ban areas are prohibited subject to any special conditions or exemptions
🚫All open fires are prohibited
🚫All Permits to Light Fire issued in the designated area are suspended for the period of the fire ban.

This is an excellent opportunity to remind yourself of your bushfire survival plan. https://bushfire-survival-plan.qfes.qld.gov.au

If you see smoke, report it to '000'.

‼️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ‼️

The new Fire Danger Ratings system comes into effect today. We love it because it makes staying safe easier.

This new system is consistent across the country and gives you valuable information to use BEFORE a fire so you can take action to protect yourself and others well ahead of a bushfire even starting.

There are four levels where action is recommended and a fifth “off” section in white where no action is required.
