The Black Saturday bushfires were predicted, as best as they could be. One cannot predict human idiocy in making the choice to deliberately light a fire.
However, residents of Victoria were warned ahead of time that weather conditions of that day would be dry and gusty with excessively high temperatures - in other words, prime bushfire conditions. They received as much warning as any bushfire victims could have, but most of them chose to stay and risk the fire warning.
The 2009 Black Saturday bushfires were too large to be extinguished, but some of them were able to be controlled by water bombing and the various bushfire brigades. The fires eventually burnt themselves out.
Up until 2009, the deadliest and most destructive Australian bushfires were the January 1939 "Black Friday" fires which decimated entire towns in minutes and killed 71 people. The "Ash Wednesday" fires in February 1983, which blazed from Adelaide and right across Victoria, killed 72 people and burnt out 5 million hectares burnt out. Over 2 thousand homes destroyed, several townships wiped out and 750 farms affected. The "Ash Wednesday" fires resulted in major legislative changes governing where and how people could build houses outside the metropolitan areas. Even more destructive were the "Black Saturday" bushfires that started on 7 February 2009 and ultimately killed over 200 people in different parts of the state of Victoria. These were caused by a combination of extended extreme temperatures, arson and electrical power pole faults.
Tens of thousands of animals died in the Victorian bushfire. Many or most are small, non-flying animals that could not escape the flames. Insect and arachnid populations probably took the worst hit. When wildlife biologists try to run numbers on something like this, they're usually using pre-fire populations as a springboard to make calculations. No "exact" figures exist, as anyone who thinks about the issue will see. Only estimates of population mortality are all that will ever appear.
Could WHAT be predicted? Please clarify.
I don't quite know what you mean by predicted (please try to make your questions very clear) but assuming you mean 'can their creation be predicted', then the answer is 'yes'. We know that very massive stars will leave a remnant that exceeds about 3-4 solar masses after they go supernova. If the stellar ruminant is above this mass then a black hole will form. We can also predict where black holes 'are' by their effect on nearby bodies, this is how we know were and how massive the black hole in the centre of our galaxy is. Also although black holes do not emit light they do distort light passing near them and we can predict what this would look like (see related link below).

Time, and using up their fuel, i.e, vegetation.Firefighters used aerial water bombing while the rural bush fire brigades fought them in the ground. However, the "Black Saturday" bushfires in Victoria officially lasted almost 5 weeks - from their beginning on 7 February to 12 March when 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. There were so many fires that they could not all be extinguished. It was a matter of waiting for them ti simply burn themselves out.

It was predicted
Sandstorms, Drought, Bushfires and Cyclones.
Next Saturday is Saturday. That is a permanent answer to the question. As the question was originally asked on Thursday the 6th of September 2012, the answer could be Saturday the 8th of September 2012.Next Saturday is Saturday.

This could be either "early" or "late."
