Background

The State Hazard Plan for Fire provides an overview of arrangements for the management of fire in Western Australia (WA) and contains information on fire prevention, preparedness, response and initial recovery.

The Plan refers to a range of existing plans and documents relating to fire but does not duplicate the information contained in these, instead provides directions to websites or other sources where further information can be obtained.

The Fire and Emergency Services (FES) Commissioner, is the Hazard Management Agency (HMA) for fire.

Every five years, a comprehensive review is required to be undertaken by the Department of Fire and Emergency Services.
