Brookfield Rural Fire Brigade

07/05/2026

Join Brisbane City Council, Healthy Land & Water and the Brookfield Rural Fire Brigade for an engaging bushfire information pop-up session.

• Learn how taking a few simple steps now can make a big difference during bushfires. Find out your bushfire risk, how to prepare your property, make an emergency plan, what to pack in an emergency kit, and where to find trusted updates.

• Healthy Land & Water’s Fire Ecology and Preparedness team will host two guided Walk and Talk sessions exploring the important role fire plays in shaping Australian landscapes. Led by specialists, the walks will cover how native plants and animals have adapted to fire over millennia, and how vegetation traits and fuel structure influence fire behaviour in our local environment. Back at our table, we’ll unpack the fire behaviour triangle, showing how fuel, weather, and landscape interact during a fire, and discuss practical actions you can take to help minimize risk. Join the team for an informal, informative, and engaging session designed for anyone with a curiosity about fire as a natural ecological process and its influence on the landscapes we call home in Brisbane.

• Connect with experts from Council’s Planned Burns team to learn more about bushfire mitigation and where planned burns are scheduled.

• Get up close to rural fire trucks and chat with your local Brookfield Rural Fire Brigade firefighters and community educators.
