Spare a thought (or a prayer) for the lost firefighters and their families 💔.

Queensland's fire service has offered its deepest condolences to the families of those onboard, and confirmed the aircraft had been contracted to support the Queensland bushfire response.

FIRE BAN is extended to Monday 6 November.

You know the drill guys . In addition to the fire ban - try and leave grinding , welding , slashing and mowing for another time , and if you must do it, make sure you have water and tools with you to get on top of any sparks immediately. It only takes a minute for things to get very untidy ….

And a shout out to our first officer Ian Beattie , Sandy from Theebine rural fire brigade and Cody from Cedar Pocket Rural Fire Brigade .

They arrived back at the shed at 10am this morning from several days fire fighting at Baffle Creek , stopped just long enough to grab a bottle of water from the fridge and headed straight out to fight the fire on the mountain .

Just found this message on our DM’s and we couldn’t agree more !
