"Black Saturday" marked the start of massive bushfires in Victoria, Australia, which eventually killed 173. The fires began on 7 February 2009, and continued for almost five weeks. On 12 March Victorian authorities announced that the last of the worst bushfires which caused the most death and devastation were under control. However, smaller fires continued, controlled, for many months after that.
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.
