Firefighters have come together in emotional scenes across the state on International Firefighters Day to honour the life of fallen colleague Izabella Nash.
Ms Nash died on Tuesday after battling a factory fire south of Brisbane on Monday.
A second firefighters, Lia Drew, was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital where she remains in a serious condition.
Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk and Deputy Premier Steven Miles joined crews at the Kemp Place Fire Station for a minute's silence, before laying wreaths in tribute to Ms Nash.
Four fire engines blared their sirens in a 30 second sound off following the minute's silence, in memory of Ms Nash and all firefighters who had lost their lives in the line of duty.
'A tight-knit family'
Queensland Fire and Emergency Service (QFES) Acting Commissioner Mike Wassing said the day served as an opportunity to highlight the dangers firefighters face on the job.
"Our firefighters are a very tight-knit family, and today on International Firefighters' Day, it is a focus on firefighter Izzy Nash, her family, her partner Beck and firefighter, Lia Drew, who remains seriously injured, and all of our firefighters have been involved in those operations," he said.
"Today is an opportunity for all Queenslanders to remember the dedication and bravery, that our firefighters put themselves at risk every day for the protection of property, life, and the environment.
"For all of us here today, there is an opportunity for self-reflection, and we also ask members of the community to take the opportunity to acknowledge our firefighters, say thank you and take the time out to support our people.
"I'm personally very appreciative of the enormity of support."
Investigation into blaze ongoing
The investigation into how the firefighters were injured is under investigation, as well as the cause of the fire.
More than 40 firefighters attended the factory fire at Slacks Creek early on Monday morning.
Ms Nash was revived with CPR at the scene and rushed to hospital but was pronounced dead just after 9pm on Tuesday.
QFES said its working with her family to organise funeral arrangements.
Mr Wassing said he'd had the opportunity to see Ms Drew in hospital yesterday.
"She's going okay, all things considered. She's obviously also very upset with the events.
"She has burns to both her arms and parts of her shoulder, but she has come out of the critical care unit, she's still in the burns unit and will be in there for a period of time yet.
"We're supporting her and checking in with her on a daily basis."
