Fuel load estimates based on the two hazard assessment methods differed considerably, with differences between teams also significant. Inconsistency in scoring fuel hazard may lead to discrepancies in a range of management applications, which in turn may affect firefighting safety and effectiveness....
Mr Jim Gould, CSIRO Bush fire Research Leader, says, 'In the past we have always concentrated on the fuel load but this research has found that the structure and dynamics of fuel are also important to manage'.Previous fire behaviour guides have been specific to certain vegetation types but ...

35 Squadron Loadmaster, Corporal Guterres with her C-27J Spartan. One of the crucial supplies our flight off-loaded to the community of Mallacootta was a bladder full of diesel fuel that would be very welcomed to the township. This was a relatively new concept of transportation as developed ...
The enhancement ratio to CO from the Kilmore East fire, a large 2009 fire in central Victoria which consumed largely similar fuel to the Black Summer fires, was calculated as 4.5e − 3 µgm−3 ppb−1 from the emission factor published by Surawski et al. (2016). The mean ...

It varies widely depending on variables such as air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, terrain, fuel load in the form of dry vegetation, as well as many other factors. Theoretical models for fire prediction which take these into account have been designed and are being constantly ...
