Interested in the Fire and Rescue industry?

Maybe the kids are bored, and you need to get out of the house?

Perhaps you fancy yourself a man or woman in uniform?

Well good news people because Fire and Rescue Stations, as well as, Rural Fire brigades will open their doors for us tomorrow! The station doors will be thrown open as a part of the QFES Open Day – Stronger Together.

This is an opportunity for us in the community to learn about bushfire preparedness and share experiences with staff members and volunteers on the frontline of recent blazes. Plus, there will be station and truck tours, the chance to meet QFES mascots and personnel, fun kids’ activities, safety information/demos.
