Australia will develop a nationally consistent bushfire modelling and prediction capability under an agreement announced recently between CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, and AFAC, the National Council for Fire and Emergency Services.
The partnership involves the development of Spark Operational, a cutting-edge bushfire simulation tool based on CSIRO’s ‘Spark’ fire prediction platform.
Fire and emergency services agencies across Australia will be able to use Spark Operational, opening bushfire prediction opportunities across borders and over different landscapes.
