Attachment 6 - Bushfire Attack Level Assessment Report

Bush Fire Attack Level (BAL)
Step 1: Relevant fire danger index: (see clause 2.2.2)
Fire Danger Index (FDI)              50


Step 2: Assess the vegetation within 100m in all directions (tick relevant group)
Note 1:   Refer to Table 2.3 and Figures 2.3 & 2.4 for description and classification of vegetation.
Note 2:   If there is no classified vegetation within 100m of the site then the BAL is LOW for that part of the
          site.
