Project Fire Risk Categories

Three key categories of fire risk have been created to organise the delivery of the ANSFR Project into three key themes. These categories will be used throughout the project to structure the key activities and deliverables. 

Accidental Fire Risk

"The threat, danger or possibility of a fire being started as a result of an accident and/or as a result of negligence and/or as a result of lack of knowledge and awareness of common potential causes of fire."

Environmental Fire Risk (Natural)

"The threat, danger or possibility of a fire being started within a rural or rural-urban interface environment as a result of accidental/deliberate human activities or as a result of natural phenomena, such as lightning strikes, volcanic eruptions etc."

Social Fire Risk

"The threat, danger or possibility of a fire being started as a result of arson and/or as a result of factors associated with, or factors contributing to, the "high risk lifestyle(s)" of an individual or social group."
