Agricultural Fire Management Guidelines

CFA has recently developed fire management guidelines titled 'On the Land' (CFA May 2007). These guidelines provide an overview of fire management on rural properties.

Read the On the Land - Project Update (pdf 288k) and On the Land - Launch (pdf 134k) to find out more about how these Agricultural Fire Management guidelines are being developed and distributed.

On the Land will be particularly useful for those that are new to farming, undertaking farm planning or trying new enterprises. View or download the guidelines below – choose the full document or view a section of your choice.
