Fire Danger Ratings


For a Southeast Queensland Fire Danger Rating that is updated daily at 7am by the Rural Fire Service, click here.  This shows Fire Danger maps for today and the next three days for all regional areas in Queensland.  The Lockyer Valley Region is part of the Southeast Coast Region.  Be aware that this is a regional forecast and the fire danger in the Lockyer could well be different and often higher than the regional average.

The Fire Danger Ratings are actually issued by the Bureau of Meteorology.  You can see the BOM FDRs here along with the time when they were last updated.
