There are a few simple things to make all areas much safer, but they are anti green. When will we tell the greens to get stuffed, & keep their stupid prejudices in there own areas.
Simple Safety Measures.
1/ A large cleared, & slashed area [say 50 acres] in close proximity to each minor population centre.
2/ A large body of water, [at least a couple of acre dam], be established in each cleared area.
3/ All bush, & trees cleared back far enough from all public roads, so that no tree can fall on the road, blocking it. This would not only make escape possible in a fire, but would save thousands of lives, [both human, & wildlife] without fires.
4/ Roads must not be treated as wildlife corridors./
5/ Only appoint very experienced fire fighters, [& I mean real fighting, not management only types] to all senior firefighting organisations.
This would offer a reasonable chance of escape to safe areas, when all else was lost, rather than dead traffic jams behind fallen, burning trees, on blocked roads
