Queensland publishes emergency data through QFES (Queensland Fire and Emergency Services). The primary feed is the ESCAD (Emergency Services Computer Aided Dispatch) system, which covers all incident types including structure fires, rescues, MVAs, hazmat, and bushfires.
Agencies: QFD (all incidents via ESCAD), QFD-WARN (bushfire alerts)
| Feed | Format | Update | Coverage |
|---|---|---|---|
| QLD ESCAD Incidents | ArcGIS REST | 60 sec | All incident types |
| QLD Bushfire Alerts | JSON | 5 min | Bushfire-specific alerts |
Timestamps: Compact UTC format (YYYYMMDDHHmmss, e.g. "20260406040300"). This is unusual among Australian feeds and requires custom parsing.
Auth: Both feeds are public with no authentication.
Strength: ESCAD covers all incident types in one feed, not just bushfires. Good breadth of data for a single integration.
