(a) The burns have been listed by their burn identification code (Burn ID), and the Burn Name which indicates the location of the burn. The location name generally uses the forest block, park or locality of the burn.
It is not possible to provide the list of burn objectives due to the staff time that would be required to extract these from the individual burn prescriptions. The objectives relate to a range of values and issues contained within the burn. There can be a number of objectives for each burn undertaken. The Burn Purposes have been provided as a component of the burn summary tables.
(b) The area of the burn has been interpreted as the treated area within the burn boundary [See Tabled Paper No. #].
