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
A huge thank you to our Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service Rangers who over the past few weeks have been conducting planned burns around the state to reduce the risk and intensity of bushfires and their potential impacts on communities, infrastructure, parks, and forests. 🚒 Planned burns are also vital in promoting ecological health, biodiversity, and the conservation of species and habitats. 🌳🐦 These activities increase during the cooler months (like now) when conditions are more favourable. 🧊 We have been working in partnership with other agencies including Queensland Fire Department, local councils, our neighbours, and First Nations partners to carry out the prescribed burns. 💪 #QueenslandEnvironment
