Brett Stephens and the team at SA Bushfire Solutions were great to work with during our recent fire training event. They came highly recommended to us, and we can see why.
They are a professional, experienced and dedicated outfit
As the fire officer at Central Land Council I work closely with Brett and the team at SA Bushfires Solutions, they have successfully delivered a variety of training courses throughout the region. They are both professional and conciseness in their delivery and possess the ability to be flexible when needed, tailoring the course and its contents if required. Their knowledge and understanding of indigenous cultural practices is pivotal in meeting the needs of our constituents and work. CLC wish to extend its appreciation to the team for their continued work and support and look forward to 2022.
Following is a testimonial following our recent training workshop at Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary. Feel free to contact me if you need further info:
Australian Wildlife Conservancy (AWC) is the largest private owner and manager of land for conservation in Australia, effectively protecting wildlife and their habitat across more than 6.5 million hectares at over 30 locations. Managing fire is an essential part of our work. It helps to improve habitat for threatened wildlife, preserve fire sensitive plant communities, prevent wildfire and protect assets. We recently engaged Brett to run a training workshop at Newhaven Wildlife Sanctuary in central Australia where he provided training in many aspects of fire management including aerial incendiary operation. Brett has enormous depth of knowledge and an engaging informative presentation style. He catered for the full range of skill and ability levels amongst participants and made sure everyone received the tuition they needed. We will continue to use SA Bushfire into the future and have no hesitation in recommending their services to others.
Working on Fire is a national company operating throughout Australia. We only employ and support consultants who have the highest of skill and integrity. When we approached SA Bushfire Solutions to help us with some projects in Northern Australia it came about because of his knowledge and ability to work in remote areas with no supervision We would have no hesitation to recommend and use SA Bushfire Solutions into the future.
We engaged Brett to conduct vegetation management and a BAL assessment while we were having planning difficulties with the Council, CFS and other agencies. Brett’s expert advice and vast knowledge is allowing us to progress with our build and obtain a BAL rating that accurately matches the risk our property presents. His BAL assessment report is one of the most detailed and thorough reports I have seen compared to other agencies we have been dealing with. Brett was professional, on time and performed the required work at short notice and to a high standard that we were after.
I would highly recommend to anyone building in a high bushfire area, requiring BAL assessment or vegetation control to contact him first before approaching anyone else.
On the 6th July 2018 Director/Trainer Brett Stephens from SA Bush Fire Solution conducted fire Management and aerial incendiary training to the Bulgul Rangers and the Wodikapildiyerr Rangers on the Bulgul Land Trust in the Northern Territory.
The training provided was to 9 Indigenous Rangers and was a mixture of men and women. As the Ranger Coordinator for the Bulgul Rangers I found Brett’s knowledge and expertise in fire management and aerial incendiary to be excellent and the training provided to be very informative, inclusive and hands-on and relevant to the line of work we as a ranger group do during our fires season.
Brett’s style of teaching was very easy to understand and showed his passion in what he does. He took his time with students that have English as second language, Brett showed patience and respectfulness for indigenous culture where it was needed.
If the opportunity were to arise again to use SA Bush Fire Solution Training I would not hesitate and would gladly recommend him to provide training for any business or company in Fire Management and aerial incendiary Training.
Claridge Construction engaged Brett Stephens to undertake a BAL Re-assessment on a very difficult site in the Adelaide Hills. The net outcome was the Private Certifier signing off on a reduction in BAL Rating from BAL40 to BAL29 and that saved our client almost $100,000 on that project. Brett was consultative, proactive, competent and persevering with several generations of inspections and documentation until we got the outcome. Cannot recommend SA Bushfire Solutions highly enough.
