A recent training exercise highlighted a number of rural properties missing their ‘yellow posts’. These posts provide easy identification and location of properties to emergency services. For further information please contact Council.
Much to our disappointment we recently had our antennae stolen from the tower, denying us of vital communications. Fortunately for the community, it was discovered quickly and was during a minor incident. If anyone can offer information regarding this theft please contact the local police or one of our brigade members.

the Wardens’ Word
Lighting Fires!
Before lighting any fire you should check if any fire bans or restrictions apply for the area where the fire is to be lit. These are published on the Rural Fire Service website www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au and www.fire.qld.gov.au

…DIDYANO?…
When you go to sleep, your sense of smell also goes to sleep. If there is a fire, toxic fumes may overcome you before you wake up. Have you tested your smoke alarms recently?
Reports indicate that the risk of death in a house fire is reduced by more than half if a properly maintained smoke alarm is installed.
