Bushfires pose a significant hazard to communities worldwide, wreaking devastation on ecosystems, property, and human lives. Communities must take an active role in wildfire safety as climate change increases the frequency and intensity of these events. This article examines numerous strategies and community-led projects that may aid in wildfire avoidance. From early detection and readiness to sustainable land management techniques, communities have a key role in safeguarding themselves from the dreadful effects of bushfires. Communities must become proactive agents of their own defence, addressing not just the physical, but also the social, psychological, and environmental aspects of wildfire suppression. In the face of increasing wildfire dangers, communities can handle the difficulties of the present while also developing a more sustainable and safe future by boosting resilience, establishing social bonds, emphasising mental health, and integrating technology. As global climates change, communities throughout the world will need to collaborate to build a resilient and adaptive response to the complex difficulties posed by bushfires.
