Community Education and Research Unit
The Community Education and Research Unit looks after a range of free education and awareness programs and services that are offered by the QFRS throughout Queensland.
The Unit is committed to increasing awareness of fire and road safety issues and conducting research to determine who is most at risk from fires and how fires can be prevented.
Current research projects
Total Cost of Fires Research Project
This major research project, announced October 2001, is set to address the impact of major fires on the economy and local community.
The project will give the QFRS a comprehensive and accurate look into the total impact of fires on the community, including long-term impacts such as loss of jobs, insurance and re-establishment costs.
