Emergency services in Queensland have been inundated with calls for assistance following a deluge of heavy rain in parts of the state overnight. Residents in south-east Queensland face a major clean-up this morning, as pockets south of Brisbane received over 200mm of rain in under five hours. “Our SES volunteers are currently dealing with about 170 calls for assistance,” Queensland Fire and Emergency Services Assistant Commissioner John Bolger told Today. Crews fixed leaking roofs, assisted with sandbags and cleared fallen trees. Emergency services have urged the community to remain vigilant.
