In this episode of Compact Disasters, we look at the Black Saturday Bushfires, the devastating fires that swept across Victoria, Australia, on 7 February 2009. With extreme heat, powerful winds and years of drought turning the landscape into fuel, the fires killed 173 people, destroyed more than 2,000 homes and changed the way Australia prepares for catastrophic bushfire danger.
