The aim of this research is to determine if there is a correlation between house setbacks and house-to-house fire spread as a causation of house loss in the 2009 Victorian bushfires. These correlations are determined through confirming if house setbacks are a contributing factor to house-to-house fire spread or not through establishing associations between the house setbacks and house loss in the 2009 Victoria bushfires.
