Overview
The purpose of Kimberley Burning Guidelines is to provide fire practitioners with a tool that assists them with their fire management. The Guidelines are designed to provide an estimation of the situation with a specific guide to the rates of spread of burning and the options for ignition flight lines to achieve the burning objectives.
The Guidelines have been developed by working with very experienced pastoral fire managers both within the pastoral industry and within the Fire and Emergency Services Authority (FESA).
These Guidelines have utilized the data of the Bureau of Meteorology from the Fitzroy Crossing site and compared that with data that was gathered at a number of the sites of the actual burning, whether from prescribed burning or from a bush fire.
