abstract="Nolan et al (2020) give their perspective of the current fire season in Eastern Australia, yet draw attention solely to fuel moisture as a &quot;key constraint on the occurrence of large wildfires in this region&quot;. Here we provide a broader view. Mega-fires were the subject of an international conference held in Tallahassee, Florida in 2011, spawned by increasing awareness that fire suppression was &quot;running out of road&quot;. Jerry Williams, the former National Director of Fire & Aviation Management, United States Forest Service, was the keynote speaker and wrote: &quot;protecting people and sustaining natural resources can no longer rely on suppression capabilities, alone; protection will become more dependent on how we manage the forests where high-impact mega-fires incubate&quot; (Williams 2013).<br><br>This article is protected by copyright.
