This talk presents the current findings from an ongoing research project funded by Natural Hazards Research Australia, with support from the National Aerial Firefighting Centre (NAFC) and state and territory fire agencies. The project, Why Fly? How do we know that aerial firefighting operations are effective and efficient", is investigating the use and effectiveness of firefighting aircraft across Australia. It aims to characterise current aircraft use and evaluate the effectiveness of aerial firefighting through several activities, including a comprehensive analysis of national drop data, case studies examining drop objectives and outcomes, and a practitioner survey on aircraft use and suitability.
