Ever wondered how fast a grass fire can move? With @BOM_NSW predicting a warm and wet spring there is likely to be good grass and crop growth across #NSW. With this growth will come the increased risk of grass fires. Maintain your property, be prepared and have a plan. #NSWRFS

Colin Wood says using bollards, paint or other physical means to demonstrate the location of the APZ extent within subdivisions drastically reduces the extent of veg creep over time within subdivisions - this is a great idea!!! @BushfireConf @ShoalhavenCC

Kate Cotter & John Mealia- when evacuation is not possible buildings offer shelter to protect life. People need to increase the resilience of their homes as their life my depend on it @BBCAORG @BushfireConf

House to house ignition - planning & building regs do not address neighbouring property as a fuel source. Separation <10m requires mitigation measures at property & community level. @BushfireConf #bushfirebuildingconf @BBCAORG

Pyroconvective fire behaviour is not adequately dealt with by AS3959. A huge amount of energy released with firestorm winds generated of 35-60 + km/hr. 80-85% house loss occurs within 100m from bushland-urban interface Yaping He @westernsydneyu @BushfireConf @BBCAORG

We need to talk to & listen to communities-must better value their input & revise a sometimes paternalistic attitude! @_lauragannon_ @BBCAORG @BushfireConf #bushfirebuildingconf

Uncertainty re fire ignition can lead to complacency in policy development. Need to consider risk, not only hazard. @_lauragannon_ @BBCAORG @BushfireConf #bushfirebuildingconf
