Please keep the skies clear for our aircraft 🚁

We have had reports of drones flying near bushfires in North Queensland, which our crews are working hard to bring under control.

Our aircraft cannot safely fly when drones are also in the air nearby. Please don’t put our crews in danger. NEVER fly a drone near an active bushfire.

🚨 Put your drones away this bushfire season 🚨

Our aircraft play a key role in supporting ground crews battle bushfires.

If you’re flying a drone in the area, our aircraft cannot complete operations safely.

Don’t put your community at risk, please steer clear of the fireground and let our firefighters do what they do best.
