This episode is Part 2 of my conversation with Jeff Dau, from Ember Bushfire Consulting. 

In this episode, I’ll be talking more with Jeff about building and renovating in bushfire prone areas, or on land that has a bushfire overlay. 

Specifically, we’ll be discussing how to manage a BAL 40 or BAL Flame Zone rating, understanding distances to vegetation, sprinkler systems, and some of the other strategies you can use in building well in these areas. Plus other info I know you’ll find helpful.

If you haven’t listened to Part 1, pause this podcast, and head back do that now. We’ll be here when you get back. 

Otherwise, let’s dive into Part 2 now.
