Can we really fight fire with fire? Why pre-burning is no magic bullet

The debate about how to prevent increasing wildfires has reignited after massive fires in Los Angeles and regional Victoria. Many advocate for prescribed burns, but do they work?
The article from WAtoday discusses the complexities and limitations of using prescribed burning, or "pre-burning," as a strategy to mitigate bushfires in Victoria, Australia. It highlights that while pre-burning can reduce fuel loads and potentially lessen the intensity of future fires, it is not a foolproof solution. The article points out several challenges: the unpredictability of fire behavior, the potential for escaped burns, the ecological impacts on native flora and fauna, and the fact that weather conditions like drought and wind can override the benefits of reduced fuel loads. Additionally, it notes that the effectiveness of pre-burning varies greatly with location, timing, and environmental conditions, and there's a growing recognition that a more holistic approach, integrating various fire management techniques and community education, is necessary rather than relying solely on pre-burning. The piece also touches on the political and public pressure to act decisively against bushfires, which sometimes oversimplifies the nuanced science behind fire management.
