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.
