The Ensis Bushfire Research group develops the science and technology needed to protect life and property, and manage fire in the landscape.

The programme has a scope that includes rural land and the rural/urban interface.

Ensis Bushfire Research has knowledge and experience across a full range of vegetation types and landscapes.

Specific aims of the programme are to provide land and fire management agencies with greater capacity to:

• Enhance fire fighter safety.
• Understand bushfire behaviour and risk.
• Enhance community safety and protection.
• Provide better prescriptions to implement controlled burning programmes.
• Deploy effective suppression resources.
• Manage fire in different vegetation types.
