Fighting fire with cold fire

The Aboriginal peoples have lived with bushfires for thousands of years and know how to use them for the benefit of nature. In order to prepare the country for the upcoming summer in the southern hemisphere, indigenous rangers are fighting fire with fire. An approach that Europe and North America could also learn from.
