Brisbane news live: Fire department charged two years after Nash's death
Latest posts Fire department charged two years after Nash's death Charges have been laid two years after the death of a firefighter in a warehouse blaze. Izabella Nash died in hospital after she was trapped in a building at Slacks Creek, Logan, in May 2023. Her colleague Lia Drew was also seriously injured. Loading The Courier-Mail first reported the Queensland Fire Department (QFD) had been charged with failing to comply with health and safety regulations. A spokesperson for the government body told this masthead it was aware of the allegations. 'Proceedings have been commenced … in relation to the events surrounding the Slacks Creek fire,' a spokesperson said. 'QFD prioritises the safety of its personnel with extensive training and a focus on continuous improvement and operational excellence. 'Given the matter is now before the courts, it would be inappropriate to comment further.' 7.12am Weather over the long weekend As the days continue to cool in Brisbane, we end the week with a cloudy day and a medium chance of a shower. The weather bureau suggests a 40 per cent chance of precipitation today, although there would be barely a millimetre in it. Showers over the Labour Day long weekend are also predicted, but again, the actual falls themselves would be minimal, with a 70 per cent chance of rain on Sunday, but only up to 4mm expected. Next week the days will start to warm again, although the chance of showers lingers. Here's the outlook: 7.11am While you were sleeping Here's what's making news further afield this morning: A barrage of complaints about threatening and aggressive behaviour at polling booths has fuelled tension in Australia's most hotly contested electorates and prompted the electoral commission to warn candidates in marginal seats that such behaviour would discourage voters. The Plymouth Brethren Christian Church has increased efforts to disguise from the public that its members are volunteering in the Liberal Party's election campaign, and has urged its followers to turn up en masse on election day tomorrow. RecipeTin Eats founder and Good Food columnist Nagi Maehashi has confirmed the late Bill Granger is another author whose work she believes has been plagiarised by Brisbane baker Brooke Bellamy in her book Bake with Brooki. A newly released video shows what hero police officer Amy Scott saw in the terrifying seconds before she confronted Westfield Bondi Junction killer Joel Cauchi, driving home the gravity of her bravery and quick thinking even as she believed she was facing certain death. And US President Donald Trump's national security adviser Mike Waltz, who mistakenly added a high-profile journalist to a sensitive Signal group chat, has become the first top official to lose their job in Trump's second term. 7.02am This morning's top stories Good morning, and welcome to Brisbane Times' live news coverage for Friday, May 2. Today the city can expect a cloudy day with a top temperature of 24 degrees. In this morning's local headlines: Opponents of Brisbane 2032 Olympic venues planned for inner-city Victoria Park have vowed to keep up the fight, as the Queensland government introduced legislation designed to steamroll planning laws that could hold up the projects. A Brisbane couple who paid for a surrogate mother to give birth to their child overseas could face criminal charges after a Family Court ruling on their bid to gain parental rights. A man will remain in custody after children in Australia and overseas were rescued following his arrest in Queensland for drug and child exploitation charges. Phone apps can warn users of road tolls, freeways, hills and stairs but when it comes to walking safe at night, there's no option to un-select the creepy alleys and dark, lonely streets. In sport, the Maroons have lost the opening game of the Women's State of Origin at Suncorp Stadium on Thursday night.
