Confernce DVD's

Fire experts have long recognised that characteristics of fuels and weather are key drivers of fire behaviour. A seminar exploring these issues was held as part of the September 2009 Bushfire CRC/AFAC conference on the Gold Coast. The seminar gave fire and land managers a chance to hear from the researchers about the work being conducted all across Australia and New Zealand by the Bushfire CRC and develop an in-depth understanding of specific fire issues.

A set of DVDs based on the seminar presentations is now available. They may be ordered individually or as a set.

These are valuable tools that organisations can use, produced as part of the Bushfire CRC’s research adoption work. Their content includes an outline of the pre-conference seminar at the 2009 Bushfire CRC/AFAC Annual Conference on the Gold Coast, introducing the researchers and their work; how industry can use the research; how the work can be applied more broadly than to the specific regions where it was undertaken; what the researchers expect fire managers will learn from their presentations; and the future plans the researchers have for their work.

The DVDs are recommended for anyone with an interest in the latest practical, hands-on fire research. Fire managers and others who attended the seminar will find them a valuable refresher.

The DVDs were produced with the assistance of the Queensland Fire and Rescue Service.
