       UNDERSTANDING BUSHFIRE HAZARD

       Bushfires are an intrinsic part of Australia's environment. Natural ecosystems have evolved with fire and the landscape, along
       with its biological diversity, has been shaped by both historic and recent fires. Many of Australia's native plants are fire prone
       and very combustible, while numerous species depend on fire to regenerate. Indigenous Australians have long used fire as a
       land management tool and it continues to be used to clear land for agricultural purposes and to protect properties from intense,
       uncontrolled fires. Historically, bushfires have caused loss of life and significant damage to property. While naturally occurring
       bushfires cannot be averted, their consequences can be minimised by implementing mitigation strategies and reducing the
       potential impact to areas which are most vulnerable.



       Bushfire Attack

       Bushfire attack refers to the various methods in which bushfire may impact upon life and property and principally encompass:
           •     Direct flame contact;
           •     Ember and firebrand attack;
           •     Radiant heat; and
           •     Fire-driven wind (Figure 5).
