Hazard reduction burns are 'not the panacea': RFS boss, page-101

True Bloo...(pardon the pun)...We MUST reduce hazards.

The problem still remains, accessibility. much of the dry vulnerable landscape is steep and hilly and impossible to get to. Decent Fire Breaks would assist big time. To reduce the "hazard" means regular burn backs.

The fire that destroyed the Heritage listed Binna Burra Lodge and hundreds of hectares of rain forest on the Qld Gold Coast hinterland was in fact a burn back that got out of control.
That remains a huge problem with setting fire to tinder dry bushland without any proper means to put it out it it gets out of control...
