| Introduction | John Nicholson, AFSM, Graduate Institution of Fire Engineers and Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing Victoria University, was a consulting fire safety engineer specialising in bushfire protection, having retired from the CFA as a Deputy Chief Officer and Director Risk Management in early 1999 after 34 years as a volunteer firefighter and career operational officer. John's major contribution to fire management was in “prevention” – he is acknowledged as having led the introduction of the bushfire “stay and defend or leave early” policy that he continues to strongly advocate as a significant contributor to minimising loss from bushfire, or wildfire if you prefer. |
