This period may extend into January in more severe years. Prescribed Burning (NPWS Fire Management Manual 4.7) General season is Autumn to late Winter. Burning is possible in early Spring but not desirable on a regular basis from an ecological or tourism point of view. Suppression Strategies Current FDR Forecast FDR Low – Mod Low – Mod Undertake direct, parallel or indirect attack along existing containment lines. Where practicable consider maximising the fire area in accordance with the requirements of any proposed prescribed burns. Low – Mod = > High In order to minimise the fire area and secure the flanks as soon as possible, undertake direct, parallel or indirect attack along the closest containment lines. Pay particular attention to the flank on the next predicted down wind side. High All Undertake indirect attack along existing or newly constructed containment lines. Secure and deepen containment lines along the next predicted downwind side of the fire. If applicable consider broader than normal containment strategies to avoid wasted effort and high risk of failure. All All Ensure there is sufficient time to secure containment lines prior to the fire impacting upon them; otherwise fall back to the next potential line. Containment Lines (NPWS FMM 2.2 & 3.9) Construction of new containment lines should be avoided, except where they can be built by hand with minimal erosion potential. Only existing or previous trails or containment line routes will be used. Roads and trails to be used as containment lines but requiring works should be prioritised in consultation with relevant IMT and Fire Ground staff. All containment lines not required for other purposes should be closed immediately at the cessation of the incident. Where practicable, erosion control works should be incorporated into the containment line construction phase. All personnel involved in containment line construction should be briefed on both natural and cultural heritage sites in the location. Earthmoving Equipment (NPWS FMM 4.2.20 & 4.3) Earthmoving equipment may only be used with the prior consent of the senior NPWS officer, and then only if the probability of its success is high. Where necessary, earthmoving equipment must be washed down prior to it entering NPWS estate. As far as possible, restrict its use to previously used containment lines. Where practicable, earthmoving equipment must be always guided and supervised by an experienced NPWS officer, and accompanied by a support vehicle. When engaged in direct or parallel attack this vehicle must be a firefighting vehicle. Where practicable, containment lines constructed by earthmoving equipment should be at least 50 m from depression lines in order to avoid erosion problems. Observe the Threatened Species and Cultural Heritage Operational Guidelines. Proposed containment lines to be constructed with earthmoving equipment should be surveyed to identify unknown cultural heritage sites. Fire Advantage Recording All fire advantages used during wildfire suppression operations must be mapped and where relevant added to the database. Fire Suppression Chemicals (NPWS FMM 4.2.20 & 4.9) Wetting and foaming agents (surfactants) are permitted for use in wildfire suppression. The use of fire retardant is only permitted with the prior consent of the senior NPWS officer, and should be avoided where reasonable alternatives are available. Exclude the use of surfactants and retardants within 50 m of rainforest, watercourses, dams and swamps. Areas where fire suppression chemicals are used must be mapped and the used product’s name recorded. Observe the Threatened Species Operational Guidelines. High Voltage Overhead Power Lines Before conducting wildfire suppression or hazard reduction burning operations, in or near high voltage overhead power line (138 kilovolt (KV) or greater) easements, all personnel must be briefed as per NPWS Fire Management Circular 2001/8 dated 14 November 2001. Rehabilitation (NPWS FMM 5.1) Where practicable, containment lines should be stabilised and rehabilitated as part of the wildfire suppression operation. Smoke Management (NPWS FMM 3.4) The potential impacts of smoke and possible mitigation tactics must be considered when planning for wildfire suppression and prescribed burning operations. If smoke becomes a hazard on local roads or highways, the police and relevant media must be notified. Visitor Management (NPWS FMM 3.6 & 4.13) The reserve may be closed to the public during periods of extreme fire danger or during wildfire suppression operations. ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Contact: NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Northern Tablelands Region PO Box 402 Armidale NSW 2350. ISBN: 1 74137 549 5 DEC Number: 2005/427 Last Updated: 13 Dec 2005 This strategy is a relevant Plan under Section 38 (4) and Section 44 (3) of Rural Fires Act 1997. Approved Date: 29 Dec 2005 Department of Environment and Conservation (NSW) Operational Guidelines Resource Guidelines Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Site Management (NPWS FMM 4.11) Aboriginal sites are not indicated on this strategy. For information on Aboriginal sites contact the Aboriginal Conservation Heritage Officer or Local Aboriginal Land Council. Historic Heritage Management (NPWS FMM 4.10) Brief all personnel involved in containment line construction &/or vehicle based fire suppression operations, on site locations and the required management strategies appropriate to the site type. Threatened Fauna Management (NPWS FMM 4.12 & 5.2) Brief all personnel involved in containment line construction &/or vehicle based fire suppression operations, on site locations and the required management strategies appropriate to the site type. Where practicable, protect habitat areas and trees from the fire if the effects of the resulting fire frequency, season &/or intensity will have a significant or unknown impact. Threatened Flora Management (NPWS FMM 4.12) Brief all personnel involved in containment line construction &/or vehicle based fire suppression operations, on site locations and the required management strategies appropriate to the site type. Where practicable, protect populations or individuals from fire if the fire frequency threshold has been exceeded, or the species is an obligate seeder (fire response category), or if the fire frequency threshold &/or fire response category is unknown. Where possible, protect old growth habitat trees. Threatened Property All property owners with assets at possible risk from a wildfire event will be: Kept informed regarding the progress of the fire; and Asked for an assessment of their current level of asset protection preparedness. General Guidelines Aerial Water Bombing (NPWS FMM 4.4 / NSW Fire Agencies Aviation SOPs O2 / NPWS Guidelines for Effective Aircraft Management) The use of bombing aircraft should support containment operations by aggressively attacking hotspots and spotovers. The use of bombing aircraft without the support of ground based suppression crews should be limited to very specific circumstances Where practicable foam should be used to increase the effectiveness of the water. Ground crews must be alerted to water bombing operations. Aerial Ignition (NPWS FMM 4.2.20 & 4.4 / NSW Fire Agencies Aviation SOPs O2-4 / NPWS Guidelines for Effective Aircraft Management) Aerial ignition may be used during fuel reduction and backburning operations where practicable, but only with the prior consent of the senior NPWS officer. Backburning (NPWS FMM 4.8) Temperature and humidity trends must be monitored carefully to determine the safest times to implement backburns. Generally, when the FDI is Very High or greater, backburning should commence when the humidity begins to rise in the late afternoon or early evening. With a lower FDI backburning may be safely undertaken during the day. Where practicable, clear a 1 m radius around dead and fibrous barked trees adjacent to containment lines prior to backburning, or wet down these trees as part of the backburn ignition. Brief all involved personnel on the location of cultural sites and threatened species prior to backburning, and adhere to the above guidelines. Command & Control (NPWS FMM 4.2) The first combatant agency on site may assume control of the fire, but then must ensure the relevant land management agency is notified promptly. On the arrival of other combatant agencies, the initial incident controller will consult with regard to the ongoing command, control and incident management team requirements as per the relevant BFMC Plan of Operations.

    Strategy InformationFire Season Information

    Wildfires • Have been known to start as early as late August, butusually the potential for a large fire event is greatest

    between October and December. This period may

    extend into January in more severe years.

    Prescribed Burning

    (NPWS Fire Management Manual 4.7)• General season is Autumn to late Winter. Burning is

    possible in early Spring but not desirable on a regular

    basis from an ecological or tourism point of view.

    Suppression Strategies

    Current FDR Forecast FDR

    Low – Mod Low – Mod • Undertake direct, parallel or indirect attack alongexisting containment lines.

    • Where practicable consider maximising the fire area inaccordance with the requirements of any proposed

    prescribed burns.

    Low – Mod = > High • In order to minimise the fire area and secure the flanksas soon as possible, undertake direct, parallel or indirect

    attack along the closest containment lines.

    • Pay particular attention to the flank on the nextpredicted down wind side.

    High All • Undertake indirect attack along existing or newlyconstructed containment lines.

    • Secure and deepen containment lines along the nextpredicted downwind side of the fire.

    • If applicable consider broader than normal containmentstrategies to avoid wasted effort and high risk of failure.

    All All • Ensure there is sufficient time to secure containmentlines prior to the fire impacting upon them; otherwise

    fall back to the next potential line.

    Containment Lines

    (NPWS FMM 2.2 & 3.9)

    • Construction of new containment lines should be avoided, except where they can bebuilt by hand with minimal erosion potential.

    • Only existing or previous trails or containment line routes will be used.

    • Roads and trails to be used as containment lines but requiring works should beprioritised in consultation with relevant IMT and Fire Ground staff.

    • All containment lines not required for other purposes should be closed immediatelyat the cessation of the incident.

    • Where practicable, erosion control works should be incorporated into thecontainment line construction phase.

    • All personnel involved in containment line construction should be briefed on bothnatural and cultural heritage sites in the location.

    Earthmoving Equipment

    (NPWS FMM 4.2.20 & 4.3)

    • Earthmoving equipment may only be used with the prior consent of the seniorNPWS officer, and then only if the probability of its success is high.

    • Where necessary, earthmoving equipment must be washed down prior to it enteringNPWS estate.

    • As far as possible, restrict its use to previously used containment lines.

    • Where practicable, earthmoving equipment must be always guided and supervisedby an experienced NPWS officer, and accompanied by a support vehicle. When

    engaged in direct or parallel attack this vehicle must be a firefighting vehicle.

    • Where practicable, containment lines constructed by earthmoving equipment shouldbe at least 50 m from depression lines in order to avoid erosion problems.

    • Observe the Threatened Species and Cultural Heritage Operational Guidelines.

    • Proposed containment lines to be constructed with earthmoving equipment shouldbe surveyed to identify unknown cultural heritage sites.

    Fire Advantage Recording • All fire advantages used during wildfire suppression operations must be mapped andwhere relevant added to the database.

    Fire Suppression Chemicals

    (NPWS FMM 4.2.20 & 4.9)

    • Wetting and foaming agents (surfactants) are permitted for use in wildfiresuppression.

    • The use of fire retardant is only permitted with the prior consent of the senior NPWSofficer, and should be avoided where reasonable alternatives are available.

    • Exclude the use of surfactants and retardants within 50 m of rainforest,watercourses, dams and swamps.

    • Areas where fire suppression chemicals are used must be mapped and the usedproduct’s name recorded.

    • Observe the Threatened Species Operational Guidelines.

    High Voltage

    Overhead Power Lines

    • Before conducting wildfire suppression or hazard reduction burning operations, in ornear high voltage overhead power line (138 kilovolt (KV) or greater) easements, all

    personnel must be briefed as per NPWS Fire Management Circular 2001/8 dated 14

    November 2001.

    Rehabilitation

    (NPWS FMM 5.1)

    • Where practicable, containment lines should be stabilised and rehabilitated as part ofthe wildfire suppression operation.

    Smoke Management

    (NPWS FMM 3.4)

    • The potential impacts of smoke and possible mitigation tactics must be consideredwhen planning for wildfire suppression and prescribed burning operations.

    • If smoke becomes a hazard on local roads or highways, the police and relevantmedia must be notified.

    Visitor Management

    (NPWS FMM 3.6 & 4.13)

    • The reserve may be closed to the public during periods of extreme fire danger orduring wildfire suppression operations.

    The objective of APZs is the protection of human life and property. This will have precedence over

    guidelines for the management of biodiversity. Maintain Overall Fuel Hazard at Moderate or below.

    The objective of SFAZs is to reduce fire intensity across larger areas. Maintain Overall Fuel Hazard at

    High or below, however adherence to guidelines for biodiversity will take precedence where practical.

    The objective of LMZs is to conserve biodiversity and protect cultural heritage. Manage fire

    consistent with fire thresholds.

    • Asked for an assessment of their current level of asset protection preparedness.

    General Guidelines

    Aerial Water Bombing

    (NPWS FMM 4.4 / NSW Fire

    Agencies Aviation SOPs O2 /

    NPWS Guidelines for Effective

    Aircraft Management)

    • The use of bombing aircraft should support containment operations by aggressivelyattacking hotspots and spotovers.

    • The use of bombing aircraft without the support of ground based suppression crewsshould be limited to very specific circumstances

    • Where practicable foam should be used to increase the effectiveness of the water.

    • Ground crews must be alerted to water bombing operations.

    Aerial Ignition

    (NPWS FMM 4.2.20 & 4.4 / NSW

    Fire Agencies Aviation SOPs O2-4

    / NPWS Guidelines for Effective

    Aircraft Management)

    • Aerial ignition may be used during fuel reduction and backburning operations wherepracticable, but only with the prior consent of the senior NPWS officer.

    Backburning

    (NPWS FMM 4.8)

    • Temperature and humidity trends must be monitored carefully to determine thesafest times to implement backburns. Generally, when the FDI is Very High or

    greater, backburning should commence when the humidity begins to rise in the late

    afternoon or early evening. With a lower FDI backburning may be safely

    undertaken during the day.

    • Where practicable, clear a 1 m radius around dead and fibrous barked trees adjacentto containment lines prior to backburning, or wet down these trees as part of the

    backburn ignition.

    • Brief all involved personnel on the location of cultural sites and threatened speciesprior to backburning, and adhere to the above guidelines.

    Command & Control

    (NPWS FMM 4.2)

    • The first combatant agency on site may assume control of the fire, but then mustensure the relevant land management agency is notified promptly.

    • On the arrival of other combatant agencies, the initial incident controller will consultwith regard to the ongoing command, control and incident management team

    requirements as per the relevant BFMC Plan of Operations.
