Overview
Considerable attention has been given to suppressing bushfires with aerial fire bombing in recent years. The public has strongly identified aerial programs with successful bushfire suppression but public policy makers and fire agencies have been keen to more fully understand the costs and the effectiveness of using aircraft for firefighting operations. Bushfire CRC Project A3.1 and C4 has released a study on The Effectiveness and Efficiency of Aerial Fire Fighting in Australia. The study aims to help fire agencies identify the most effective combination of suppression resources for minimising the impact of bushfires.
