How common are bushfires in Australia?

Bushfires in Australia are very common during summer. However, bushfires like the massive Black Saturday fires across Victoria in February 2009, which killed almost 200 people, only occur every few decades. Prior to Black Saturday, the worst fires were Ash Wednedsay (1983) and Black Friday (1939). In between, there have been some deadly bushfires that killed a smaller number of people (Canberra 2003; Eyre Peninsula 2005). In other years, many areas may be threatened by bushfires, particularly in the south and over in Western Australia, leading to huge property losses.

How common are wildfires in Australia?

Bushfires, as they are properly called in Australia, are very common, particularly during the summer months. Parts of southern Australia, where the summers can be very hot and dry for extended periods of time, are particularly bushfire-prone. Bushfires occur throughout Australia, wherever the vegetation becomes dried out and easily ignited during heatwaves or drought. A common cause of bushfires is when tinder-dry vegetation is struck by lightning.There have been several significant bushfires that have caused great devastation and loss of life in Australia since European settlement. The Black Friday bushfires (1939), Ash Wednesday bushfires (1983), Canberra bushfires (2003) and Black Saturday bushfires (2009) have been among Australia's worst natural disasters.
