It therefore appears to me that fuel reduction burns in the current fire locations has not been occuring to any significant extent.
Paul.
Here is a case where a fuel reduction burn from 2017/2018 was not enough to pull up a wildfire

Also if you are 'logged in" then the recipient of the bookmark will only see public layers (or those they have permissions to see)

For how many 100's of years have we been having fires in Tasmania, and just now the fires are due to climate change?
Hmmm

Son of a Beach wrote:In a discussion with a former professor of forestry, he mentioned that the worst fires are usually in areas with high average rainfalls. These areas generate a lot of fuel, so if they do get unusually dry periods - enough for the fuel to dry out, then they have the potential to fuel greater fires.
