Roadsides are important for safety, the provision of services and the environment. Roadside management involves a wide range of issues and organisations. One important issue is roadside fire management.
A Roadside Management Program has been established by CFA to support
CFA members and other organisations and individuals involved in
roadside
fire management.
 |
CFA has also developed the Roadside Fire Management Guidelines to provide advice and information on planning effective roadside fire management and a worksheet to help plan roadside fire management activities. |
 |
These guidelines are supported by the Roadside Fire Management General Information brochure. This document explains key fire science information in a simple way. |
The worksheet is available as a fill out form RFMG
Worksheet (standard) or as a document that can be altered
to suit user requirements RFMG
Worksheet (customise format). |
A number of Roadside Program Case Studies are also available to provide ideas and information about current roadside fire management plans, projects and programs being undertaken by CFA and other organisations.
CFA supports the use of herbicide for fire prevention on private and public land, where it is safe and effective. More info...
The CFA Roadside Program provides support for general roadside fire management issues. If you have a particular roadside fire management issue, contact your local municipal council or your local CFA office for advice.
