Fire Note: Residential fencing and bushfires

The potential for residential fencing systems to act as a barrier against radiant heat, burning debris and flame impingement during bushfire is of the utmost importance to those whose homes rest in bushfre-prone regions. The new Fire Note Issue 70 reveals that different types of fencing can play an important part in defending homes against the threat of bushfire. Fire Note is published jointly by the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre (Bushfire CRC) and the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC).
