The Gregory River Rural Fire Brigade is a small brigade, looking for new members. Meetings and training held the second Sunday of each month, at the Gregory River Rural Fire Brigade shed on Foleys road. No experience is needed to join the Fire Brigade, as information and training is provided.

Our purpose is to keep the community safe. We conduct control burns, as well as helping out when there is a wild fire. You will meet new people and create new friends along the way.

If you are interested or have any inquiries, you can contact the First Officer on 0428 069 597

Much of Queensland will reach a Fire Danger Rating of HIGH today, with some areas set to experience locally EXTREME conditions 🔥
In these conditions, it takes just one spark to start a fire which can spread quickly into a significant bushfire. If you live in an area with heightened conditions and you are planning on slashing, mowing or using machinery around vegetation, please reconsider or plan to take extra precautions.
If work does need to happen, make sure you have water on hand to immediately extinguish any small fires and have someone supervising to ensure any danger is spotted early.
On smoke-affected roads, please slow down and take care to keep yourself and our crews safe while they work to contain fires alongside the roadway.

If you had plans to grind, slash or mow today please reconsider.

The Fire Danger Rating is sitting at HIGH in most parts of the state, which means there’s a heightened risk of fires.

If work needs to happen today, be alert and make sure you have water on hand to extinguish any spot fires.

If you spot an unattended fire, call Triple Zero (000) immediately.

Have you been thinking about joining your local rural fire brigade but not sure where to start? 🤔

It’s as easy as contacting your nearest brigade.

If our trucks can’t access your property when there's a bushfire, it makes life incredibly difficult for firefighters.

Please ensure the access to your property is at least four-metres wide, with a four-metre-high clearance and there is space for a turn-around area.

Double check your house or lot number is clearly displayed to the road to save as much time as possible for our crews responding.
