A great morning by all who attended.

16/09/2026

Today is Yellow Ribbon Day 🎗️, a day to say thank you to the more than 27,000 Rural Fire Service Queensland volunteers who give up their weekends, weeknights, and time with loved ones to educate and protect their communities.

From preparing for bushfire season to responding when Queenslanders need them most, these volunteers make enormous sacrifices and continuously show up with courage, commitment, and dedication.

We know they don’t do it for thanks, but if you know an RFSQ volunteer or have ever been helped by one please take the time today to make sure they know how much their hard work is appreciated!
