Queensland firefighter Izabella Nash has been remembered as a passionate and dedicated professional at a public memorial in Nathan.

Ms Nash died after battling a factory fire south of Brisbane in early May.

A second firefighter, Lia Drew, was taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital with burns to her hands and shoulders.

Speaking at the public ceremony in front of hundreds of firefighters, Ms Nash's partner Bec Weinert said she was an extraordinary individual.

"I hope that she looks upon everyone here today to see the impact and the reach that her life has had to us," Ms Weinert said.

She spoke of the many adventures and full life she had with Ms Nash.

"I may not have got to spend as long with you as I would have liked, but I am blessed for the time that we did share," Ms Weinert said.

"Until we meet again. I miss you, always."

'Fire family' shares memories of Izzy

Station officer Fiona Rose attended the academy with Ms Nash and said they shared a bond over their military backgrounds.

"She was the first step, was hands on the gear, and would always take juniors under her wing," Ms Rose said.

Reading a statement from fellow station officer Michael Yates, Ms Rose said the "fire family" had been shattered by the loss of Ms Nash.

She said Mr Yates had been mentoring Ms Nash through the process of becoming a senior firefighter, a role he believed she would have been "excellent" at.

"[I'm] devastated for Bec and her family, and I will carry the events of that night to my grave," Ms Rose said, reading a statement from Mr Yates.

"Now, we burn with grief and loss. But tomorrow, at any fire station, the lights will come on. The bell will sound, and we will answer the call."

Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) acting commissioner Mike Wassing said, ever since she joined the service in 2014, Ms Nash — also known as Izzy — was a perfect fit.

"It's no surprise that Izzy excelled as a firefighter," Commissioner Wassing said.

"A desire to be there for others in times of emergency.

"Izzy's drive and desire were clear to everyone when they worked with her."

QFES acting superintendent Steve Bates said Ms Nash's name would be added to the National Emergency Services Memorial in Canberra.

"[It] honours the commitment and sacrifice of fire and emergency services personnel from Australia and New Zealand, who have died in the line of duty," he said.

He said her name would also be added to the Queensland state honour roll for those "who have made the ultimate sacrifice".

"Izzy's name will be called each year at all regions' commemorative services for fallen firefighters," Superintendent Bates said.

"May she rest in eternal peace."

Her family held a private funeral for Ms Nash before the memorial.

The cause of the blaze is still under investigation.
