The Logan Village Rural Fire Birgade is a voluntary community based organisation providing 24hr Fire and Rescue response activites in the Greater Logan Village area.
The Logan Village Rural Fire Brigade is an iZone Brigade located in Logan City, Queensland. Whilst most of our call-outs are vegetation fires, we also attend road traffic crashes, structural fires, car fires, chemical and gas problems and rescues. We also assist land holders with conducting hazard reduction burns to mitigate the impact of bushfires.
The Logan Village Rural Fire Brigade is a functional unit of Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) - as such we have adopted the Social Media policy of the QFES as per below.
While QFES is best known for putting out fires in homes, buildings or in the bush, its staff do much more behind the scenes for Queensland residents and businesses. This includes road accident and other rescues, fire safety education, hazardous material management, building fire safety, rural fire planning, fire investigations, alarm monitoring and commercial training.
QFES has about 3000 staff, including 2500 operational firefighters working from 245 urban fire stations. Rural Fire’s 34 000 volunteers protect about 93 per cent of the State’s land area through 1470 brigades and 440 rural fire stations.

Frequently asked questions
Why do people ‘like’ your updates? How can anyone ‘like’ reports about people losing their lives or property?
‘Liking’ a post is not necessarily a reflection of a user's actual feelings about an incident. The like button is often used to reflect appreciation for the information in the post itself. It is also used by some people to track subsequent updates posted on a particular topic. Comments about people ‘liking’ a post will be removed.
Why is some information published hours and sometimes days after the event in question?
Releasing information that is of public interest, or is vital to public safety is a priority for us. However, we carefully balance these with other considerations before we release any information. Often it is inappropriate to publicly release information until facts have been verified.
Why don’t you report everything that happens?
Generally, we release information when:
• there is a public safety issue
• there is public interest in the matter
• there is a need to seek information from the public
Sometimes, there are reasons why we don’t release information, such as when:
• releasing details could jeopardise public safety or the ongoing management of an incident an ongoing Police investigation
• releasing details could the ongoing management of an incident by emergency services or police
• there are issues related to mental health
• releasing details could identify a victim of a crime
We also generally do not report on matters of self-harm or suicide.
Why do you not release the names or makes and models of cars involved in serious or fatal traffic crashes?
Considerations for the privacy of those involved, as well as their family and friends are of paramount concern to us when we release information on fatal or serious traffic crashes. At the time a crash is reported, it is possible that some family members have not yet been informed of their loved one's involvement. When a traffic crash involves a fatality, the cause of the crash is a matter for the Coroner to determine. For both these reasons, we treat any information we release about traffic crashes with the utmost sensitivity, and ask our users to do the same.
Why was my comment removed?
We try to keep the comments we receive from users as focused and civil as possible. As such, we sometimes remove comments for a variety of reasons. Sometimes the language or tone of the comment is offensive. Other times the comment is simply off topic, and not relevant to the discussion at hand. For a detailed explanation of our moderating policy, please refer to our Terms of Service below.
