Mr Roger Cook replied:In any incident,
there is always a review of the response, conditions and issues that arose in relation
to that. Obviously, that goes to the question of resources. I would expect and
know that the Department of Fire and Emergency Services would be undertaking
that work. As I said, we are always looking at ways that we can respond to the
changing conditions, particularly in climate change and the challenging
circumstances that provides for our rural communities and our bushfire
firefighters.
