State-of-the-art applications of weather, fire danger rating, and fire behavior in smoke management and prescribed burning by southern fire managers are addressed. Validations of fire predictive systems versus observed fire conditions are stressed as a prime need in the south.

In 1983 the most severe fire in Victorian mountain forests for over forty years killed extensive areas of highly productive eucalypt forest, requiring a large scale timber salvage and forest rehabilitation program. The scheduling of these programs was dependent upon a rapid and…

Prescribed burning is a vital tool in the management of industrial pine plantations. New techniques and tools such as the use of helicopters in aerial ignition have facilitated the use of fire in younger stands, while permitting more acreage to be treated in a given time period…
