The general purposes of this blog

The main purpose of the Helidon Hills Smokespotters blog is to provide a location where landowners can find key information relating to fire danger, fire weather (see relevant tabs above), and announcements regarding restrictions on fire in the Helidon Hills.

There is also information about the history and functions of the Smokespotter group - see relevant tabs above.

We do not post on this blog unless there is something important that people who are not on one of our mailing lists need to know.

Our mailing lists cover: enrolled smokespotters; people involved in fire fighting or the management of fire response, including staff of the Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and of the Lockyer Valley Regional Council Disaster Response unit; Fire Wardens in our area of coverage who have asked to be on that mailing list; and landowners in the area of coverage who want to receive information that will  inform them about matters such as the source of smoke they are seeing, or about developing situations when the is a major fire.

Landowners in the Helidon Hills and Ravensbourne (not technically our area of coverage, but we try to include that area where possible) can email one of the Coordinators and ask to be on the Landowners Mailing List.  

Individual Fire Wardens can ask to be included on that list.

Staff in relevant positions can ask to be on the Fire & QPWS & LVRC list and may be added after checking with their organisation.
