BACKGROUND Management of forest fires in Australia have started ± 100 years back, later in the year 1936 the Government issued a law on forest fires and the law of each State may make regulations according to the operational needs of each.
Although it has a very good system, but every year there is always a good forest fires small and occur on a cycle of forest fires is very great, in the large-scale lose experienced certainly not less good assets that the government, private, public and even human lives and also affect the impact of a society that is around.
Forest fires that occurred in Australia is very closely related to vegetation condition and change seasons for example, in the summer with the drought and high wind speed, the risk of fire is very easy going and then quickly expanded with learning from experience that the various parties need to realize that the management better against forest fires, so the need to build a forest fire management system that is created and coordinated research how the pressing danger of forest fires, including the elements that influence.
Burning activities in Australia is a destination with a variety of needs as part of the forest fire management system itself that is the reduction of fuel and other purposes such as in the catch
area of water and farm land, but these activities should be carried out with the planning and should not be cooked done at the time of high fire danger level.
While the position of the Government, in this case of Institutions managing forest fires themselves play an important role both in taking the role to provide coordination with the guidance, support and training and equipment assistance.
PURPOSE With the management of forest fire management system is expected to have control of all activities or events related to the fire. In Australia, the planned burning to reduce the amount of fuel is very important to do, especially for the hot season
where the risk of forest fire that does not happen often restrained, from the management activities of forest fire prevention is expected to reduce the danger of forest fires and a greater activity much done in the forests managed by the Government, to maintain the areas vital for the public interest in areas such as water and diffusion settlements directly with the adjacent forest. In the farm lands owned by the public burning of more aimed at the planned supply / regeneration as a fodder grass. Management of forest fires in Australia has been particularly useful to keep a variety of interests related to the forest directly or not, resides in the area or just passing through, for example, tourism, timber from the Forest Plantation Industry, farm land, water area diffusion for drinking water, the electricity etc.
IMPORTANT ASPECT Successful management of forest fires is also depends on how the coordination of several parties that have a role and a different capacity, among other people, institutions or the relevant institution. Some important issues that need to be a special attention, as happened in North Stradbroke Island, among others:
• The causes of forest fires by the deliberately people (not a good goal) because there are still people unaware akan loss-loss caused by forest fires that are not restrained;
• At the community level in general is well settled permanently or temporarily the awareness, concern and community involvement is high and support, activities and prevention of forest fires, especially in the asset difocuskan each first and then the new environment and made voluntary ;
• Private companies such as mining are located in the region (North Stradbroke Island) actively involved in controlling forest fires because it has no sense of each other, in addition to the specific company officials also allow employees to volunteer when there is a big event;
• Government / institution in terms of this Conservation Redland take more roles in consultation and coordination with both the public and other parties also provide support and a warning for forest fire hazard;
• The government is also involved in the negative, for example, to provide sanctions for people / parties to do all the burning deliberately (without permission), put the assets of land outside the flammable or without adequate safeguards against fire.
• Australian Society original (Aboriginal tribe) have culture in the use of fire and to respect the very nature where it is almost unknown by most people that Australia is ahead, it is very necessary to be developed and examined as CBFiM history in Australia and then combined with the technological progress or control forest fires at this time.
Between ON FRAMEWORK In Australia, generally the management of forest fires is mostly done on the prevention activities in the form of a reduction in fuel (prescribe burning), especially in the forest's plants and fire that occurred in the summer every year both small scale and large scale. When fires occur, especially in natural forests will not be the repair or rehabilitation activities, because in the natural forests in general is dominated by Eucalyptus species that can beregenasi after the fire, the restoration activities carried out when the burn involves the public interest and protect areas such as drinking water so that restoration activities are not necessary depending on the level of interest / priority So it can be said that the framework for management of forest fires in Australia to become shorter.
PRINCIPLES AND IMPLEMENTATION CBFiM IN AUSTRALIA
In Australia, forest fire management based Society as will be done in Indonesia where people are important elements in a full involvement in both decision making and managing the natural wealth in tackling forest fires does not specifically found. In Australia at the community level in general has become a system called Volunteer or volunteer, whether government, business and various other professional consciously and actively involved in both their own assets and secure the assets of the other party and general facility.
STATE NOW With a long history of forest fire management in Australia is one of the country who have the management of forest fires is good, not only in terms of facilities and infrastructure, organization and coordination, but also a very important element is the general public and professional support with a variety of activities both with passive and active and direct role as a volunteer force is so large that in the control forest fires. With a good system as well as community support on this very day forest fire is still very difficult if all the elements of nature to support the occurrence of forest fires is greater still more of idleness does not conduct activities with the prevention of fuel reduction burning.
SUMMARY
In an effort to control forest fires that good management is needed, the framework is clear and the device is equipped with a clear law. In Australia, management of forest fires has reached a very advanced stage both that system own facilities and infrastructure support but this is not a guarantee and the biggest obstacles faced and often occur in every year of forest fire is supported by the natural elements such as summer, the air humidity is low , blow wind speed, and fuel is very flammable.
People also have more advanced, support and actively involved in programs of forest fire control, they realize that what they do is also to maintain the assets of their own interest and for sharing.
Management of forest fires based community (Community Based Fire Management) is not specifically have made or found in Australia and growing up with at this time at the community level but between the Volunteer and Volunteer CBFiM have some similarities in spirit and purpose.
Government / Institution holds an important role in the policy, regulation, coordination within the control of forest fires, but is supported by various parties so that the system of forest fire control in Australia does not have relative constraints.
CBFiM BETWEEN INDONESIA AND AUSTRALIA
During the study tour program in Australia in the framework of professional training in the management of forest fires, some of the comparison can be, especially to the papers of Forest Fire Management of Community-Based, among others:
1. The different traditions; in traditional society is very diverse but, in general, land clearing burning in a way that has a goal to make it easier to farming to meet the needs of plant food while in Australia people have the same habits of origin in addition to the Original People (Aboriginal), while in the making Forest burning is a goal each for example, between the Government has a forest plant community with the land owner who seeks a breeder.
2. Differences in the level of awareness, and awareness in Indonesia about the issue of forest fires on each layer or level of a society is still very poor although there have been several incidents of forest fire and land-loss and damage caused by forest fires themselves, while at the Australian Society for the hazard awareness fire (fire is not desired) is high enough and involvement so that events of forest fire that is not restrained and it is very harmful to make every level of society or of life and care about each mutual support and care about the dangers of forest fire.
3. CBFiM the program in Indonesia is relatively new but known traditions or customs of the people in managing forest and land fires in the treatment and prepare the land, the principles CBFiM existing since long, while in Australia does not specifically have found the management of the fire but have figured CBFiM pattern the long-developing the volunteer (volunteer) in this case for the forest fires which comprises members from various sections of the community.
4. In Indonesia CBFiM life in the community is still relatively poor, among others:
• Awareness / sense of voluntary.
• Togetherness to protect assets, both private and shared interests and the surrounding environment on the use of fire.
• There are many more important interests of the individual and temporary, while Australia has developed a volunteer has a soul that needed in the development of forest fire management based CBFiM among others:
• Full awareness, care, support and volunteer forest fire management activities that can harm personal assets, assets with the care of the assets / interests of other people.
• There is a togetherness that was built well in the face of forest fire and not at the time the forest fires and the strength of weld joint.
• Making decisions together with the management of fire in both of private assets, community groups and others outside the system.
5. Pattern CBFiM in Indonesia is still very necessary initiated by the Government, Institution or institution is in counseling and guidance and ideas to take people to the people / the purpose of CBFiM itself, but in Australia the level of awareness and awakening togetherness as it is also through this process where the length of the whole society to take lessons from the events that are very harmful by various aspects of forest fires.
6. Volunteer CBFiM and in understanding the wider the perpetrators of the Society but that distinguishes them is the CBFiM itself is still a lot of lives depend on the nature itself of the increasing standard of living and is located in the Village Volunteer perpetrators while not everything depends on the nature of the effort to improve the standard of living , for example, as employees of the private sector, Government / Institution and others, and most live in the city, and we realize or not CBFiM itself the embryo of a Volunteer.
