Hazard reduction burns under attack again after Lancefield bushfires

Green opponents never give up. The ABC reports – Lancefield bushfire: Resident says ‘heads should roll’ over controlled burn that escaped containment lines – I see on ABC 24News TV some academic attacking the use of “controlled burns”. Remember that the destruction of the little Tasmanian town Dunalley 4th Jan 2013 was due to a controlled burn that was not properly put out – smouldered away in stumps then broke out after wind got up. Careless work. TV news coverage shows many houses around Lancefield buried in bush – clearly many people do not understand risk.
Reports on large air tankers in Australia spring 2015
Last week – Tuesday afternoon I recall – it was reported on ABC TV news that a large air tanker was being sent to the Lancefield fire from Richmond NSW – I was away a couple of days after that but never saw a photo of it in action and never heard a thing. Did it ever arrive and operate ?

One thought on “Hazard reduction burns under attack again after Lancefield bushfires”

  1. How quickly the greens forget what they don’t want to remember. Have they already expunged the devastating wildfires and 200 plus deaths of less than a decade ago from history?
