Leading expert Geoff Stocker reveals his opinions on the life saving Fire Bunkers and how to best prepare yourself for a Bush Fire.

Australia will never completely escape periodic fire storms such as those experienced on Black Saturday. However, good fire management can have an enormous impact on their extent and intensity. Property losses are perhaps inevitable but the loss of human lives can easily be reduced to a tiny fraction of that recently experienced.

The keys will be systematic fuel reduction burns and the “stay and fight” strategy to be generally adopted but only permitted where a purpose-built fire shelter is within easy reach. There are no realistic alternatives.
In particular the potential for a cataclysmic disaster during a mass evacuation under fire storm conditions is too great to even contemplate.

Geoff Stocker was founding Director of CSIRO’s Tropical Forest Research Centre.

We are finding that people who install our Fire Proof Shelters/Fire Bunkers gain a new confidence in being able to stay and defend, knowing if they get overwhelmed there is a Fire Proof Refuge to guarantee your safety!
