    The document outlines five strategic goals for how the wildfire problem should be addressed. The document sets out six key areas to be addressed and developed as part of the Strategic Way Forward, these include Governance, Engagement, Land Management, Response, Policy, Legislation and Enforcement and Evidence.

    We look forward to hearing your views on the range of proposals to be developed to help shape the final document setting the way forward regarding wildfires. Responses to this consultation will help refine the actions to be taken forward to address the wildfire issue in Northern Ireland.
