The authors are concerned that the hundreds of millions of dollars being spent annually on forest fire management on Victoria's public land are neither being effectively or efficiently applied nor fully and transparently documented in the responsible agency's annual reports to Parliament. Such reporting should be a key indicator of the agency's capacity and capability for what is a key government responsibility to its citizens and communities. It is considered timely for a comprehensive examination of what actions are required to increase effectiveness and efficiency in all aspects of forest fire management and transparency and accountability in money and resources being devoted to a vital public service. Attention is drawn to improvements that should be made in the public interest.

The report compares and contrasts, over the past three decades, the prevention, suppression and planned use of fire on the one third of Victoria that is public land. It identifies on-going failure in government policy, organisation and strategic direction to cope with Victoria's major natural hazard - bushfire.The State benefitted from previous reforms enacted as a result of Judge Leonard Stretton's inquiry into the 1939 Black Friday bushfires and from emergency management reform (1986) following the 1983 Ash Wednesday bushfires. Five years on Victorian's are yet to benefit from many of the key recommendations of the 2009 Bushfires Royal Commission.Lessons now unheeded and problems that remain unaddressed or worse, resisted, are identified.Of particular concern is the lack of fuel reduction burning to mitigate risk, increase community and the natural environment's resilience to destructive high intensity bushfire and assist aggressive first attack to quickly bring bushfires under control.Appropriateness of a new large command and control statutory body, Emergency Management Victoria, now governing crisis and emergency management, including bushfire on public land, is evaluated in the context of the also newly established State Crisis and Resilience Council's three standing sub-committees: risk and resilience; capability and response; and relief and recovery.Recommendations are made, it is argued, which will underpin the restoration of Victoria's once enviable national and international standing in the field of forest fire management on public land.

In the context of climate change, world population growth and crashing ecological systems, wildfire is often a catastrophic and traumatic event. Its impact can include loss of life, life-changing injuries, long-term psychological stress; increases in domestic violence; destruction of properties, business and livestock; long-term housing insecurity; increased insurance premiums, fire-fighting, legal and health costs; as well as significant changes and species losses in the natural environment. In Australia, an average of 4,500 wildfires occur weekly. Yet how to prevent these wildfires, 85% of which are caused by human activities, has received extraordinarily little attention. The current approach to the prevention of arson can be summarised as small in scale, uncoordinated and rarely evaluated. ‘Feeling the heat: International perspectives on the prevention of wildfire ignition’ is the culmination of over a decade of research into wildfires and arson; taking an interdisciplinary approach to comprehensively understand the topic. This book reviews current international knowledge and presents new findings on political, spatial, psychological, socio-ecological and socio-economic risk factors. It argues that if we are to reverse the increasing occurrence and severity of wildfires, all prevention approaches must be utilised, broadening from heavy reliance on environmental modification. Such prevention measures range from the critical importance of reducing greenhouse gases to addressing the psychological and socio-economic drivers of arson. In particular, it calls for a coordinated and collaborative approach across sectors, including place-based, state and country coordination, as well as an international body. It will hold appeal for researchers and students from a range of disciplines and interests, government planners and policymakers, emergency services, counsellors and NGOs, and those in agriculture and forestry.
