While we are in Moreton Bay Shire and not under the FIRE BAN please refrain from lighting any unnecessary fires.
Our crews have been extremely busy helping our fellow Brigades with fires in Villeneuve (Westvale) and Sandy Creek as well as other areas we don't need any extra jobs while out battling other blazes.
We thank you for the support we have received and our crews will continue to provide as much support as we can.
Stay safe and if you havnt already, now is a great time to review your Bushfire Emergency Plan and ensure your property is Bushfire ready.
Update: Now includes additional LGAs including Moreton Bay. Please see most recent post.
