Fire and Emergency Services Minister Craig Crawford said QFES had been preparing with landowners and managers during Operation Cool Burn, which began in April.
"Since then, QFES has completed or helped with dozens of mitigation activities, including hazard reduction burns, community education and fire breaks.
