This book is a highly practical and well-informed guide to being in every way prepared for the possibility of bushfire. Victoria has been scarred by fire many times. We know that education, education, education, is the key to living in, surviving, and being able to enjoy life in a fire-prone landscape. The best message is always to leave, and leave early. But what if for some reason you can't? Being well prepared beforehand and understanding fire behaviour could mean the difference between you or your property surviving a bushfire, and not. Written by a veteran firefighter of over 25 years' experience.
