Disagree strongly Dodge.
Fires can't be intense, or long lived, if there is little fuel load.
It is a very basic, understood equation - and recognised globally without question (Byram's Fire Intensity Equation)
It's the one thing man can control. And we FAIL to control it. Fail miserably in fact (NSW are no different it seems).
And all the experts know that once the intensity level passes a point - it's uncontrollable - so mitigation/suppression efforts are futile.
Even if you buy (to some extent) the shortened burn off season, someone has f...up badly here.
The RC said burn off 5%, they burn off less than 2%. Massive, massive difference.
Do the maths on the extra fuel load on the ground....
It happens time after time after time.
That's inexcusable, yet everyone bleats at Scomo (major dill granted).
They should be howling for the blood of Dan and Gladys.
