The losses of forest crops due to fire over recent years amount to an average of 381 hectares per year, with heavier losses in drought years like 1976 when 480 hectares were lost. Recent research into fire fighting techniques has resulted in the introduction of new materials and modified equipment which greatly help the prospects for forest fire control. This leaflet discusses alternative fire prevention systems and provides detailed recommendations on the most promising technique currently available.
