The Fire Management Unit (FMU) dataset provides information to planners and their managers on the spatial distribution of Fire Management Units (aka. FMUs or ‘burn units’) from various agencies including, but not limited to: Tasmania Fire Service, Parks and Wildlife Service and Sustainable Timber Tasmania. Fire Management Unit boundaries are be defined by appropriate landscape features, e.g. roads, rivers or coastlines. In some cases the boundaries may not be able to be defined by landscape features i.e. when fuel breaks need to be created. Fire Management Unit boundaries can be changed by those preparing the plan, and may change over time from conception through to completion of the plan, as field validation, neighbour consultation and other factors dictate. Data maintained by the Fuel Reduction Unit (FRU), Tasmania Fire Service.
