Key factors include distance to classified bushland, vegetation type, slope, and historical bushfire activity in the region. The Queensland fire authority maps bushfire-prone areas and assigns BAL (Bushfire Attack Level) ratings.

The Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) system under Australian Standard AS 3959 determines construction requirements for properties in Camp Creek based on their proximity to vegetation and predicted fire intensity. BAL ratings range from BAL-LOW to BAL-FZ (Flame Zone).

CSIRO research indicates climate change is extending fire seasons and increasing the number of severe fire weather days across southern and eastern Australia.
