“In our escalating fire climate, we need new ways of learning from past fires.”

The Independent Bushfire Group (IBG) was formed in NSW after the Black Summer fires of 2019-2020. That disaster showed that change was needed in how bushfires are managed in our worsening fire climate. The IBG is a voluntary group of non-aligned bushfire practitioners, fire managers, land managers, fire researchers and ecologists with 450 years of collective experience across a range of landscapes. The IBG advocates for better fire management with a focus on practical firefighting, science and evidence-based practices.
