It could save your life’: Phil Cheney, Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO. ‘There is no doubt that anyone who reads this book, and gives due weight to the information it contains, will survive their next bushfire’: The Fireman Journal (CFA). This book ranks with `Bushfires in Australia’ as a most important contribution to bushfire safety’: David Packham OAM, bushfire scientist.
