No matter where the emergency is, our crews are ready to respond! Tewantin Fire and Rescue Station has received a new off-road Tatra truck just in time for the busy school holiday period. The specialised vehicle allows them to easily respond to crashes and fires on Noosa North Shore, with a second vehicle also based at Rainbow Beach to bolster response capability. If you are heading to the popular camping spot for the holidays, please take care and stay safe. #CommunityFirst #EmergencyPreparedness #QueenslandFireDepartment #KeepingQldSafe

From Principal Engineers to Senior Firefighters, they’re showing girls what it means to shape communities, solve problems, and lead with purpose. Swipe through to meet a few of these outstanding Advisors, and the reach they’ve had through career conversations!
