Ms Nash died fighting a factory fire in Slacks Creek on 2 May.
She was found collapsed on the second floor of the factory and was rescued by her colleagues before being taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital.
She died later that day at 9:15pm.
Her death marked the first fire-service death since 1994, and it has sent shockwaves throughout the country.
Ms Nash joined Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) in 2014 and served as a First Class Firefighter.
A second firefighter, Lia Drew, was also injured in the blaze.
She suffered burns to her hands and arms, and is in recovery.
