Of the Australian boot makers left, there is Mongrel, Redback and Rossi.
Rossi is having real problems with covid right now stocking. I did not like how narrow their toe box is, because one of their models gave me a Mortons neuroma. Their Booma that was a favorite because it doesn't have the chunky ass sole most the others do. A lot of Rossis designs use a plastic rubber nitrile outsole with polyurethane foam on the midsole for comfort.
All 3 makers are subject to hydrolysis since the other two makers use polyurethane and thermoplastic polyurethane (tpu) outsoles.
Redback is the most well known. Their boots have the most comfortable design boots I've possibly ever tried. Problem is they've expanded in the last 5 years, and while I've seen people's Redbacks last 10 years, they've either switched PU compounds or they are overproducting boots so that some sit on warehouse shelves for too long and the foam starts to breakdown due to unuse with hydrolysis. Check productreviews.au or whatever to see how every complaint seems to meet the same criteria, I bought these boots and didn't wear them till 9 months later, but when I did the sole broke off. I will also add that while the tread of the tpu outsole is deep, it has a few problems: certain rocks will eviscerate it, the spongy gaps will eat pebbles like nobodies business, and it's not the best under slick circumstances. I took a slip down stairs with a pair of slipons, that sent me down their respective flight and if there wasn't fencing at the bottom edge of it, I would be dead or broken today since I was 80 feet off the ground. I still wear their Everest, which I think is one of the best boots today.
Mongrel is similar to Redback. Their sole is very chunky. They rank the best on productreviews.au. they are well known for their side, zip boots as a better mix between pull ons and the time it takes for lacing.

Stanfield is great. Look at their David Morgan reviews. I still will use it in combination with a light fleece from Swazi.
If you are looking for a woven Overton, there is Asbell, empire wool canvas/Lester river, parsons, jas Townsends, or weatherwool if you really have a hole to burn.
Dachstein/Austrian surplus sweater is one of the best next to a Cowichan sweater. But some of them are ridiculously thick that would fatigue you if you were doing something active. If you're cheap, goto ebay, and look up vintage wool sweaters or vintage thick wool sweaters.
There's also Swanndris for a pullover but they've sold out to China a decade ago.

Worked in wildland, and never seen a case of this.
The overwhelming majority is lightning caused, like 80-90%. Every areas seems to have something unusual that cane start fires like downed power lines (windstorm) or a rural area not replacing transformers and they explode on the hottest days.
Everyone likes to get into the conspiracy of human started fires and in my experience, most are accidental. A lot of car fires for some reason, heard of one where an atv picked up dry debris and starting a 50,000 fire, campers having flames above knee height that a gust of wind causes them to spread or leaving it out when it is burning roots underground. Had one year where our biggest fire was in town because a neighbor tried to burn debris down.
Had 2 chronic arsonists in our area and both times heard they hung around fire camps using a uniform to get in on the action. Heard stories of environmentalists starting a couple for climate disaster awareness but never seen it. And then there is occasionally the odd teenage fire intentionally left or bucket of sparklers left by Mr hicks and Mrs Billy type of situation.
As much as wildland fire is to the death of relationships, it's usually mental illness intentionally starting fires.

Usually full time firefighters do prescribed burns during the colder half of the year. They often get invited to places like the American south where slim fit is XL, and get asked to do a burn there. But for USFS, even in areas with very few forest fires, a planned burn often takes a decade before the right environment is met to do a rx burn. You need the weather wet enough (but not soaked) and an environment where the Haines index is high enough that the smoke goes up and doesn't stick to the floor (often during winter) where every farmer in the county knows its a burn day the second they look out their window in the AM and can only see their own reflection.
