Glencoe Rural Fire Brigade

Another big day for the crews of Glencoe. We conducted a hazard reduction burn for TMR on Munduberra Durong Road, Durong. It was a long hard day for the crews. But so much easier with South Burnett 41 (now stationed at Glencoe) and Glencoe 51. Great job by all crew members working well together.

Today we conducted a large hazard reduction burn for a local property own. We burnt approximately 200 acres. It was fantastic having the South Burnett 41, makes the job so much easier with a 2nd vehicle. All the crews worked hard, well done guys. (Check the video out in comments)

Another callout this evening. Glad we had the 41 unit that is station at Glencoe, to put out the fire of concern. Great work team.

We had a callout to a grass fire today in our area. It's getting very dry and with this wind it quickly took hold. Thanks to both our crews, McEuen and 2 Urban trucks for bringing it under control. For any fire greater that 2 m x 2 m a permit is required. Which can be easily obtained but contacting the local fire warden. When lighting any fire you need to watch it and always have water on hand or fire fighting equipment to extinguish any escaped fire. Great work from all that attended.

Today I was proud to take delivery of the South Burnett 41. This unit is on temporary assignment to Glencoe Brigade. There has been a lot of work behind the scenes to get the 41 assigned to Glencoe by Area Office. This will be a great asset to Glencoe allowing us to give better protection to our community.

We received a callout to Dangore to a grass fire started by a falling tree that was struck by lightning a few days ago. It was interesting to see where the lighting had exited the tree, you can see by the photos. Great work along with landholders.

Season greetings all, as conditions continue to dry and residents are needing to mitigate fire hazards on their properties caused by the storms or general property maintenance. I have attached a photo from a concerned resident. This fire is borderline legal to have without a permit; however, it was unattended and no adequate means of containment or extinguishment. If your fire is greater than 2m in any one direction you must obtain a permit via an application www.fire.qld.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-05/Application-Permit-Light-Fire.pdf and submit to your local fire warden. Their details can be obtained online www.fire.qld.gov.au/safety-education/using-fire-outdoors/fire-wardens the permit advises and protects you if all the conditions are meet on the permit.
For all fires under 2m in any one direction you must have only one fire lit at any time, contained via a non-combustible structure, bare earth or sodden ground with no fuel loads with in, a means to extinguish in case of escapement and/or to leave cool to touch and monitored at all times. Remember! be mindful of your neighbours by not adding unnecessary anxiety and smoke in their direction and if you can fly a kite don't light a fire. The best times to light a fire are in the evening when the temperature and winds drop.
Please be safe we all want to spend this special time of year with loved ones and enjoying what precise time we have at our own leisure.
