| Introduction | John Nicholson, AFSM, Graduate Member Institution of Fire Engineers and Diploma of Professional Writing and Editing Victoria University, is 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. His major contribution to fire management was in “prevention” – he is acknowledged as having led the introduction of the wildfire “stay and defend or leave early” policy that he continues to strongly advocate as a significant contributor to minimising loss from wildfire. |
