Within our Fire Management capabilities, SSDS offers risk management of fire prone landscapes to ensure that unplanned fires are safelty contained or that mitigation is undertaken successfully. As Australia contains the world's most fire prone landscapes, many ecosystems have evolved to be dependant on fire for their ongoing survival. Incorrect management or timing of fire can lead to detrimental impacts on the health of the landscape and reduce long term sustainability. SSDS has the expertise to balance these contrasting and complex needs with effective solutions. For more information about SSDS Fire Management, click here to download a brochure.
