Bushfires can cause property and infrastructure damage and lead to loss of life. The fire itself is only one element of the danger, with toxic fumes and heavy smoke causing impaired vision and impact on air quality.  Did you know planned burns can help reduce the risk and intensity of bushfires? 🕒🚒 The Department of Environment, Science and Innovation’s Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service Rangers are doing an exceptional job carrying out planned burns and helping reduce bushfires’ potential impacts. Kudos to the team as well as the community of Queensland helping with the planned burns. 👏 #BeHere4Qld #BeTheDifference #QueenslandEnvironment #Community
