At midday, FRS stations across Queensland fell silent today, marking a minute’s silence to commemorate International Firefighters’ Day.

A 30-second siren ‘sound off’ followed to honour, and in memory of, all firefighters who have lost their lives in the line of duty.

Today, on International Firefighters Day we acknowledge the work our crews do protecting their communities.

As we grieve the loss of a colleague, it is clear the sacrifices our firefighters make to keep Queensland communities safe.

Thank you all for your dedication.

It doesn’t get much more intense than a house fire, just ask this family! 😳

We let mum, Elodie, experience the heat up close (supervised by our experienced firies, of course).

It’s so important that EVERY house has working interconnected smoke alarms.

Are you up to date? 🏡
