Facts
Increases in fuel load, fuel dryness, fire weather and lightning strikes are together likely to result in more frequent bushfires.
Bushfire events can have far-reaching impacts. These include loss of life, property and infrastructure. Bushfires can cause poor air quality, which can affect human and animal health, and can have long-lasting impacts to soil and water quality. Bushfires can also have devastating impacts on plants, animals and ecosystems.
Public infrastructure also suffers in major wildfires, Bridges may be burnt, powerlines damaged and industrial plants destroyed. All these lead to diversion of Government resources to repair them, or to reduced economic performance by industry. Apart from the inconvenience of interrupted access, lack of electrical power and economic activity, job losses are frequently added to human woes.
