Another point that a lot of people do not think about when it comes to hazard reduction burns. Not only are there the limited time for it per year because of the extended fire season and drought conditions, but there's some areas that can't or never should be burnt - because they contain life that maybe rare or endangered. And because we've cutback on spending on science, we're finding it difficult to determine just "what we've got now".
We need to potentially come up with other plans to deal with the situation that's not necessarily burn everything. Properly funded weed management and eradication would be a big step forward for this. Better management of our land and development would be another.
