Busting bushfire myths

Created date

Three Bushfire CRC researchers featured at a public science forum in Adelaide in October.  The forum, organised through RiAust (Royal Institute of Australia), attracted more than 120 people to hear about how science has attacked common myths about bushfires.  The Bushfire CRC speakers were Kevin Tolhurst, Justin Leonard and Drew Dawson.  The day following the public forum, the same three researchers addressed a lunchtime gathering of about 100 fire and land agency staff from the Country Fire Service and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in South Australia.

Much of the forum is online at: http://riausondemand.org.au/event/busting-bushfire-myths/

The Bushfire CRC is intending to work closely with RiAust over the coming year to promote bushfire science around the country. Standy by for more events.
