Tara Bushfires

The Corporate Protection Fire and Rescue team have always gone to great lengths to protect our client’s people and property, but sometimes we get the opportunity to contribute even more to the local community.

Recently during bushfires in the Tara area, the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) sent out a call for help for assistance in protecting houses in an area threatened by bushfires. Our client as valued members of the local community gave permission for us to operate with and under the direction of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services to protect houses and members of the community.

Our teams worked closely with a local auxiliary fire unit and members of the rural fire service team under the direction of a QFES Inspector to protect property directly threatened by fire and then worked into the night to prevent the fire from spreading across a road.

While all our team members are experienced and have some of the highest levels of firefighting qualifications in industry, just like the members of the fire service, getting to use our skills to help the community and represent our clients is always something we value.

Great work done by the members of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services and the Corporate Protection Fire and Rescue team members Daniel McHardy, Nick Maguire and Blake Skene in protecting the community we stay and work in and thank you to our valued clients who make a difference in protecting their communities.
