40  Adding fire events to project scenario
 (1) If a fire occurs in a carbon estimation area, the project proponent must model:
 (a) if trees are killed—a 'Wildfire – trees killed' event; or
 (b) if no trees are killed—a 'Wildfire – trees not killed' event;
  in the project scenario.
Example 1 If a prescribed burn is carried out in a carbon estimation area in order to reduce the risk of severe bushfires, and trees are killed, the project proponent must enter a 'Wildfire – trees killed' event.
Example 2 If a prescribed burn is carried out and trees are not killed, the project proponent must enter a 'Wildfire – trees not killed' event.
Example 3 If a bushfire occurs, and trees are not killed, the project proponent must enter a 'Wildfire – trees not killed' event.
 (2) The project proponent must enter the date of each fire into FullCAM.
 (3) If the fire occurred over more than 1 day, the project proponent must enter the date on which the fire began.
Example If fire occurred between 12 July 2017 and 15 August 2017, the date of the fire is 12 July 2017.
 (4) If the date on which the fire began is not known, the project proponent must enter the day on which the fire was identified.
 (5) The project proponent must enter an estimate of the proportion of the carbon estimation area that was affected by the fire.
Note 1 See Part 5 for record-keeping requirements for fire events.
Note 2 See the FullCAM Guidelines for instructions on how to model a fire in the project scenario.
