Fire risk has been assessed across Victoria. The assessment has considered incident data from both fire agencies, FRV and CFA, for the period 2010 to 2019. The use of spatial and statistical techniques demonstrated the distribution of fire risk across the state at the SA1 scale. Attributing SA1 risk estimates to SRAs facilitated interpretation at an operational level.
A final list containing SRAs for which CFA advice is required is derived from broader considerations, such as planning, bushfire, population projections, and the incidents resulting in the greatest number of casualties. Interpretation of the final list has been guided by the IRSD and general information concerning the localities served by the SRAs.
