Australian engineer proposed to extinguish forest fires by explosion

The Australian engineer proposed to extinguish the fire with a directed explosion. The method is similar to blowing out a candle on a large scale.

Dr. Graham Doig from the University of New South Wales presented a technique that, with the help of a shock wave and the subsequent gust of air from a controlled explosion, knocks down a flame. The developer of the new technique is confident that the method can be used to prevent forest fires from spreading by stopping the flames from spreading and taking control of tree tops.
