If you’re flying a drone near a bushfire, that means our aircraft can’t.

Our crews often need to fly lower than the usual, which means they may be grounded if drones are operating in the area.

We know fires can look impressive from above, but please keep the skies clear so our aerial firefighting units can do what they do best.

AFAC News has released its bushfire outlook for spring and the months ahead paint a mixed picture for Queensland across our higher risk bushfire period.
While unseasonal rain experienced across many parts of the state has reduced bushfire risk in some areas, there are still sections of South East Queensland and the southern interior where soil moisture remains low.
This, paired with above average temperatures forecast areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn, may lead to increased fuel availability and fire danger.
No matter where you live in Queensland it’s important not to be complacent.
Remain aware of conditions in your area and ensure you have a Bushfire Survival Plan ahead of time.
