Overview
Fireupdate Issue 15
This project aims to analyse and clarify the legal risks faced by fire managers. The main focus has been the legal risks and issues connected with the “Stay and Defend or Go Early” approach and an initial examination of these issues has been completed. With eight state and federal jurisdictions in Australia plus the laws in New Zealand to consider, the situation is not straightforward. The project is also examining related issues at the request of end users.
