- Abstract
- The 'Fire Fatalities: Who's at Risk?' project is a research initiative of the Department of Emergency Services Strategic Management and Policy Unit in cooperation with the Queensland Fire and Rescue Authority (QFRA). The project was conducted with the cooperation of the Australasian Fire Authorities Council (AFAC) and other AustralianState and Territories Fire Services. The 'Fire Fatalities: Who's at Risk?' project represents a critical step in the development of enhanced strategies to reduce the number of fire fatalities in Australia and, hence, the overall cost to the community of fires.
