What did Samford RFB get up to in August? 👀

AFAC News has released its bushfire outlook for spring and the months ahead paint a mixed picture for Queensland across our higher risk bushfire period.
While unseasonal rain experienced across many parts of the state has reduced bushfire risk in some areas, there are still sections of South East Queensland and the southern interior where soil moisture remains low.
This, paired with above average temperatures forecast areas south of the Tropic of Capricorn, may lead to increased fuel availability and fire danger.
No matter where you live in Queensland it’s important not to be complacent.
Remain aware of conditions in your area and ensure you have a Bushfire Survival Plan ahead of time.
