''Fire captain Brian Williams, 73, vice-president of the Volunteer Fire Fighters Association, supports the prescribed burn argument. He spoke after a 12-hour night shift fighting the Three Mile fire burning north-east of Wiseman's Ferry.
Mr Williams said: "The hazard-approval process is what is stuffing the whole process.
"It is bogged down by green [environmental] and red tape which makes getting approval for a prescribed burn a very slow and complex process.
"They have introduced a system that makes it virtually impossible to manage the bush in a sustainable way. I am just one of thousands of volunteers out there who are frustrated."''
