The Rural Fire Service Queensland (RFSQ) is the volunteer arm of the Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) and is part of the larger Department of Community Safety. The Mount Isa Rural Fire Brigade began 24 March 2008 and consisted of 10 members. Since then our Brigade has doubled in size and is actively fighting fires in the Mount Isa area. As we are a volunteer Brigade, we volunteer our
time to this page, fighting fires, mitigating fires and providing community education for the Mount Isa area. We rely on donations from local Businesses to assist with our running costs. The Brigade’s current business supporter includes; Xstrata, Mount Isa Mining Supplies, Mount Isa HOGS Group and Dave Clancy Electrical.
