Bushfires are an unfortunate reality and fact of life in south eastern Australia. A combination of severe weather such as occurred on the 7th of February, 2009, with temperatures in the mid to high 40s celsius, strong and gusty hot northerly winds, our 12 year drought and lack of responsible land management by individuals and government departments, creates the ideal environments for bushfires such as we are now experiencing in Victoria. The effects are loss of life, loss of homes and property, degradation of land and environment, loss of stock and wildlife. Once an area has been burned out and denuded of vegetation, there is little left to hold the soil together, and any significant wind or hopefully, rain, will erode or wash away whatever is left. The Victorian bushfires to date (17-Feb-2009) killed over 200 people and destroyed over 1800 homes. Several towns were wiped off the map, 400,000 hectares of land burned out, an unknown number of stock, vehicles, miscellaneous buildings, Fencing, communications infrastructure, power lines, etc. were also destroyed. The effects of the 1983 Ash Wednesday fires are still visible around Mount Macedon if you look carefully. The effects of these current bushfires will continue well into the future.
Bushfires can be very good for the vegetation because they can clear out old growth and decompose organic matter into minerals so that new plants can grow.
The eucalyptus tree needs the heat of a bush fire to release their seeds and that seeds have no competition to grow because all the other plants have died.
Bush fires can also get rid of biological toxins and diseases.
bushfires are actually very important. some plants have evolved to only release their seeds after being exposed to very high temperatures, as they would experience in a bush fire. the eucaliptus tree does this, and the idea behind this is that the new seeds will grow fast with no competition because everything else has been burned away. the seed will get all the sunlight, water and minerals it needs, which would not be the case if the seed had been released while the whole forest was still around it. positive!!

The deadliest bushfire in terms of human casualties was the Black Saturday bushfires in Australia in February 2009, which claimed the lives of 173 people.
The safest place during a bushfire is usually inside a well-prepared home away from the fire front. Keep doors and windows closed, monitor local emergency broadcasts for evacuation orders, and have a bushfire survival plan in place. If you need to evacuate, follow official instructions and head to a designated evacuation center or a safe location away from the fire's path.
