Bushfire warnings levels
All Queenslanders should be familiar with the official Bushfire Warning levels. When there's a bushfire in your area, it's up to you to take notice, seek information, and follow the actions appropriate to the warning level listed on the Queensland Fire Department (QFD) website.
The Bushfire Warning levels use the Australian Warning System nationally consistent set of icons.
Be prepared, take notice, seek information, make decisions and act. Don't assume you will receive an official warning as a fire approaches.
The 3 levels of Bushfire Warnings are:
WATCH & ACT (orange)
There’s a heightened level of threat and conditions are changing. Act now to protect yourself and your family.
EMERGENCY WARNING (red)
You’re in danger and need to take life-saving action immediately.
