Queensland Fire and Rescue and Rural Fire Service Queensland crews are well equipped and ready to respond. They’ve been busy preparing and assisting Queenslanders over the past few days but just like the community, our crews will bunker down during the most severe weather so responses may be impacted while the cyclone passes through. Teams have been strategically positioned across areas expected to be impacted and will be out to assist the community as soon as it is safe. Finalise your plans now
