Bushfire

Although bushfires can occur at any time, bushfire season usually occurs between August and November in South-East Queensland when conditions are dry.

It only takes a few weeks of hot, dry and windy weather to create dangerous fire conditions. Fires can occur in suburbs where houses have grassland, bush or parkland around them. 

Prepare your home, property and family now and have your Bushfire Survival Plan in place before a bushfire strikes.

Prepare yourself and your property for bushfire season

When there is a bushfire in or near your area, you and your home may be affected by burning material, embers and smoke.

Bushfire evacuation options

Remember, leaving early is the safest option to protect yourself and your family.

Planned burns

Controlled hazard reduction burns are planned during low risk periods to remove ground fuel in susceptible areas in readiness for bushfire season.
