Wildfire & Hazard Mitigation
Preparedness, prescribed burning and fuel management
Wildfire preparedness and response, hazard mitigation and prescribed-burning operational support for councils, land managers and government agencies, from pre-planning through to the post-action report.
Traccorp is a fifth-generation firefighting family, and integrates its managers and personnel with external experts to support bushfire risk and hazard mitigation treatment programs.
How a prescribed burn is delivered
- Pre-planning. Development and preparation, from desk to field assessment.
- Operations. Operations, logistics and hazard reduction management on the day.
- Post-action reports. Reporting that closes out the burn.
The work aims to alter or reduce fuel patterns to better protect life and property, delivered to the exact land boundaries and under the correct weather conditions, sympathetically and with recognition of the local environment and community. Tractor and slasher plant handles mechanical reduction where fire is not the right tool.

The digital layer
EMAction
Field safety, digitally supported
Real-time incident and emergency management, and the digital field-safety platform used across the group. Traccorp and EMTRAC deployments can be supported by EMAction, providing an additional digital safety and operational layer for personnel operating in remote and challenging environments. In buildings and venues it provides QR check-in, warden communications, live mapping, PEEP registers and audit trails aligned with AS 3745 and AS 4083.
