A message from Queensland Fire DepartmentQueensland Fire and Emergency Services strives to reflect the communities we serve, embracing and celebrating the diversity of our staff and volunteer workforce. We live our values of respect, integrity, courage, loyalty and trust, embedding them in everything we do.

About Queensland Fire Department

The Queensland Fire Department (QFD), was established on 1 July 2024 under the Fire Services Act 1990 and reports to the Minister for Fire and Disaster Recovery.

QFD replaces the previous Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES), following a series of independent and wide-ranging disaster management and fire and emergency services reviews conducted in recent years and changes to legislation.

The changes will strengthen the state’s response to fire, disaster management and emergency services, while providing greater reassurance for Queenslanders when natural disasters and other emergencies impact the state.

We provide world-class fire and rescue services to Queensland communities with a clear focus on fire prevention, response and control.
