Yellow Ribbon Day is this Wednesday, 16th September!

Yellow Ribbon Day is the physical way that people can show support for all Rural Fire Brigades and the volunteers who wear the yellow coat and ride the yellow trucks.

With 1,400 Rural Fire Brigades defending 93% Of Queensland, the 27,000 Rural Fire Brigade volunteers are the frontline of our state's community defence.

Not tied to any political claims and not as a fundraiser, the intent of the day is to engender a positive conversation about the volunteers who do it for free to keep us all safe.

On Wednesday 16th September wear a yellow ribbon to show your support.

The day will start at Parliament House, with Bli Bli Rural Fire Brigade fire trucks on display at the Porte Cochere from 11:30am. MPs are encouraged to inspect the trucks and meet the volunteer firefighters.

Yellow Ribbon Day concludes with the Queensland Parliamentary Friends of Rural Fire Brigades function between 6.30pm and 8.30pm in the Parliamentary Annexe.
