# TODO: create fire safety plan
The Sanctuary is in the middle of a fire danger area: {F2512}
See relevant link: [Prepare for bushfire season](https://www.ruralfire.qld.gov.au/BushFire_Safety/Pages/Prepare-for-bushfire-season.aspx)
## Aims
I presume our fire safety aims, in rough current priority, are:
- a space to protect human life
- we need to protect the cottage location
- we need to protect the pineapple shed
- we need to protect the future new shed
- protect general forest
## Strategies
I propose we make loops and breaks that prioritise these locations, plus breaks to help prevent fires spreading uncontrollably
# Interim plan: evacuate to the recently-cleared dam area
as it has been heavily cleared and should be safely distanced from any fuel loads (there is a 20 meter cleared fire break on all sides of the inner dam bowl)
## Long-term plan
- dam of water available for fire trucks
- irrigation from dam to keep slopes moist
- make predetermined loops where water can be serviced. We can add this to the plan page I linked.
- cultural burns
- reducing fuel load
-- brushcutting slopes and then planting with greener foliage
-- obtain or borrow tractor with side-swinging slasher for the roads (@Timotheos' father might be repairing a tiny tractor)
