BUSHFIRES: INSIDE THE INFERNO is the most comprehensive examination ever attempted of the science of Australian bushfires.
This series investigates mega fires from all angles, delving into the work of meteorologists studying Australia’s weather patterns and the scientists on the cutting-edge of astoundingly sophisticated firefighting technology.
It incorporates the first-hand accounts of rangers, firefighters and survivors from some of the nation’s most devastating blazes including Ash Wednesday in 1983, the Blue Mountains last year, Victoria’s Black Saturday in 2009 and the Canberra fires of 2003, with exclusive access to the world’s largest firefighting organisations - the front line heroes of the NSW Rural Fire Service (RFS) and Victoria’s Country Fire Authority (CFA).
