- creating fire breaks by clearing a section of trees around a town area.
- removing the fuel of a bushfire from the town area, prune trees.
- perhaps grow trees that are not so flammable.

- ensure houses have an independent water supply with independent pump.
- ensure a good town emergency plan.
- ensure there is a good local fire fighting force that is well planned and prepared to fight any on coming fires.
- create watch towers during bushfire seasons.
- track fires from satellites in space,
