Director of ARC Training Centre for Fire Retardant Materials and Safety Technologies, Professor Guan Yeoh from UNSW School of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, is an expert in fire safety and says: “Intensifying heat waves and lack of rain have certainly brought forward an early start of the bushfire season. The return of El Nino will continue to exacerbate drier and hot weather conditions which we need to make necessary preparations for a hazardous bushfire season.”
