Sam the koalas was found a few days before the Victorian bushfires started on 7 February 2009. She was injured during back-burning operations prior to the bushfires. She was rescued by volunteer rural fire brigade member David Tree.
Initially, Sam seemed to be recovering well, and had found new love with Bob the koala who was rescued from the fires by wildlife workers two days before Sam's rescue. See the link below.
Sadly, on 6 August 2009, just months after she was rescued, Sam the koala had to be put down. She developed symptoms of chlamydia, a common disease amongst koalas, and when it was found that her condition was inoperable, the decision was made that she would be in too much pain to have any quality of life.
