Safety is the first concern of all involved in forest fires. The optimisation of operations, such as firefighters’ equipment and the use of forest roads for evacuation and for safe firefighting, are all part of the fire safety issue.

The major challenges for dealing with fire safety lie in the risk associated with wrong decisions that can expose lives to unnecessary danger.As decision-making relating to safety concerns is delicate and complex, strong cooperation and the exchange of experiences and lessons learned in Europe and worldwide are necessary in order to be in a position to recommend new options in this area.
