FIREBREAKS

Reduce the intensity of a fire.

The purpose of a firebreak is to provide an area of reduced fuel load which will reduce the intensity of a fire and therefore allow for more effective combating and to also serve as a line from which a back burn can be started.

EXTERNAL FIREBREAKS

External firebreaks provide fire protection on the boundaries of a property. Taking into account that properties border natural vegetation, public roads or railway lines, rural or farming communities, urban-interface areas of cities, or industrial sites, which all present varying degrees of fire hazard, external firebreaks acts as a barrier to slow or stop the progress of a fire.

External firebreaks can be provided in various ways, including regular burning of grassland or other bordering vegetation, adding prescribed burned stands, ploughing of firebreaks, scraping of firebreaks or hand-clearing fire breaks.
