The smoke is also affecting the Redlands.

🔥 ATTENTION GOLD COAST 🔥

Changing wind conditions are causing smoke from several bushfires burning across South East Queensland to impact communities from Jacob’s Well south to Burleigh Heads.

Residents in affected areas are reminded to keep windows and doors closed, and keep medications close by if required.

Motorists are urged to drive to conditions as smoke may also affect visibility on roads in the area.

🔥Bushfire season is coming – can we reach you when it counts? 🔥

Our trucks are big for a reason: they carry the water, gear, and firefighters that could save your property. But if we can’t fit through your gate, under your trees, or up your driveway… we can’t help.

Take 5 minutes this weekend to check:
✅ Is your driveway wide enough?
✅ Are your trees trimmed back?
✅ Is your gate clear for us to get through?

Because when the fire’s coming, every second matters – and we’d rather be protecting your property than reversing back down the road.
