Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Lachie McCaw in his keynote asks have we been underestimating the bushfire risk given the significant change in Extreme fire danger using g the new Fire Danger System in Aust, his two examples from Southern WA sees massive increases in periods of Extreme fire danger #IAWF2024

And so it begins, months of warning, warmest winter on record, lower winter rainfall, a sign of things to come in the summer… fires across multiple regions, all at once (again)

[Andrew Miskelly @andrewmiskelly]

Progress of the vast Barkly bushfire over the last week. Dry south easterly winds are forecast to continue across the NT, which is a concern for folks in Tennant Creek.

@Lengbeats @adambspencer so *worth* a spin. I’ll blame Elon and not my sausage fingers 😎

[Cuong Tran @pyro_ct]

@Lengbeats So very sad, do you have her live performance for Triple J with Kingsmill? If so, so with a spin, you could hear a pin drop, it is breathtakingly beautiful. I remember a story @adambspencer told us about it on radio. Take care Karen!

@DoctorKarl re: First Nations & burning, fires across the northern tropics accounts for 4% of our annual GHG inventory. Traditional burning practices have a material impact through emissions avoidance & sequestration - we need to do more

Actual nightmarish!

Your regular reminder that British public information films were like brutal horror films condensed into 30 second chunks, and shown during primetime (and children's) TV shows.

100% spot on here

[Rohan Fisher @RohanFisher4]

Can we please stop calling burnt areas in the landscape "fire scars"? Fire can be as much a healing salve as a cause of injury. The words we use are important, their inherent meaning conveys (moral?) value. Fire is used to maintain healthy country, fire should be medicine.

To put it in a nutshell, it is a complex matter. To quote Malcolm Gill. It is not rocket science, it's much much harder
