Ipswich, Australia - March 10, 2025 Queensland Fire and Rescue swiftwater teams have been working flat out this morning, pulling people from homes swamped by rising waters in Ipswich, Sunshine Coast, and Brisbane. The brave crews haven’t stopped there—they’ve also dashed to the aid of drivers trapped in multiple cars caught in floodwater, including a dramatic rescue at Palmwoods earlier today. Using a high-tech drone, the teams pinpointed the stranded vehicles before guiding swiftwater experts straight to them. In a heart-pounding mission, they plucked two people to safety from the raging torrents. It’s been a relentless battle against the elements as rain keeps hammering down across the region. Authorities are begging locals to steer clear of swollen creeks and rivers, warning they could surge without notice as the deluge continues. The message is loud and clear: if it’s flooded, forget it. With more wet weather on the way, the heroic crews are braced for anything—proving once again they’re the backbone of Queensland in a crisis.
