Queensland Fire and Rescue swiftwater teams have been kept busy evacuating people from residences in Ipswich, Sunshine Coast and Brisbane this morning.

They have also been called to multiple cars in floodwater, including at Palmwoods earlier today.

Crews used a drone to locate the vehicles and guide swiftwater crews to them, where they successfully rescued two people.

Please stay well away from swollen creeks and rivers, as rain continues to fall they may rise rapidly. Remember, if it's flooded, forget it.

What an unforgettable experience at the Multicultural Resilience event, where we had the privilege of sharing our valuable services with the CALD communities at the Nambour Community Centre. Together, we're building a safer, more informed community.

Storm Damage training doesn’t get any more realistic than this with the Humid and Wet conditions on Tuesday night, getting our sandbag pile ready for the community with forecasted storms around ⛈️

Well done team 💪🏼

What a way to celebrate SES week with a new truck!! 💪🏼

Last night Nambour received the keys to a new appliance. This 4WD capable truck will be able to transport more people & more gear when responding to calls for help! Whatever the call, Nambour 501 will be there to assist 🧡
