Queensland Fire & Rescue Club
Queensland Fire & Rescue Club (Inc) – QFRC – provides fire and rescue safety services to motor sport in and around South-East Queensland. QFRC has about 60 members who volunteer their time to work mostly at circuit and drag racing meetings.
QFRC is affiliated with the Confederation of Australian Motor Sport (CAMS).
QFRC was formed in 1979 and subsequently incorporated in 1986. The Queensland Fire & Rescue Club came into being when the Queensland Fire Fighters Club and the Queensland Rescue Squad amalgamated. It is believed that these two ancestor clubs had been performing duties at Lakeside International Raceway and Surfers Paradise Raceway since the 1960s.
Our calendar of events typically includes about 25 events each year. Most of the events are "grass roots" motor sport. We also work at the elite, professional events and highlights on the calendar include the Gold Coast Indy and drag racing's Winternationals at Willowbank. Several of our members also travel interstate to events such as the V8 Supercar Bathurst 1000 and the Australian F1 Grand Prix.
QFRC owns three fire and rescue trucks, fire fighting equipment, and rescue equipment including two sets of "jaws of life" hydraulic rescue equipment.
Two of our fire trucks are over 25 years old and QFRC is interested in talking to any potential sponsors who may be able to help us update our trucks or purchase new equipment.
