Overview of Research

The themes for research and collaboration were identified through broad industry consultation answering the following key questions:

  • Where are we now?
  • Where do we want to be in 10-15 years?
  • How do we get there?

 Key issues to emerge from this process for the fire industry and the broader community are:

  • climate change and drought;
  • demographic changes and community education;
  • informed public planning policy and critical infrastructure protection;
  • Changing technologies and
  • Safe firefighting.

 Research themes were then categorised under broad research headings.  Individual research projects will be developed from the proposed themes and will be closely linked to industry and end-user needs.
