Jimna Fire Tower, Fire lookout tower in Jimna State Forest, Queensland, Australia

The Jimna Fire Tower stands about one kilometre west of Jimna on the southern side of the Kilcoy-Murgon Road, at the top of the Jimna Range. Three ironbark poles, each made from two logs spliced together, form a triangular plan and taper inwards from base to top. The tower is 47 metres high, with a pole length of 44 metres.

Built between 1975 and 1977 by Arthur Leis and his son, it replaced an earlier tower that had served the same purpose. The new structure was designed to monitor wildfires in the region's hoop pine plantations.

The tower is also known as SEQ-4C 8, a forestry code rather than a place name. It was one of 16 fire towers built in the 1960s and 1970s as softwood plantations expanded, and towers were used in pairs, crossbearings between them pinpointing a fire. A picnic area now surrounds its base.

The tower stands one kilometre west of Jimna on the southern side of the Kilcoy-Murgon Road, with a picnic area around its base. The structure has been closed to public access since 2006 and was still judged unsafe in 2014, so the tower cannot be climbed.

Arthur Leis built over 20 fire towers for the Queensland Forestry Department between 1957 and 1991, cutting all the timber on site and usually raising each tower with one offsider and a block and tackle. Jimna was his tallest, and he erected it with his son.
