Satellite imagery is a very useful tool in managing fires and their effects. In the lead-up to the fire season, images are used to assess fuel loads and to plan access points and fire breaks. Images are also very useful in mapping the extent of fire scars and assessing damage. Geoscience Australia acquired a number of satellite images that clearly show the effects of the fires that swept through the south-western suburbs of Canberra on 18 January.
