Australia has had too many bushfires for all of them to be recorded. Bushfires are a common summer hazard, and the media tends to only report the larger fires that threaten homes and lives. According to the Australian Government's website, and backed by data from the Australian Institute of Criminology, there are roughly 52,000 bushfires every year. Actual figures may vary from 46,000 to 62,000 per year. Most of them are small and easily controlled, but the few that get out of hand, like the Black Saturday bushfires of 2009, can be utterly devastating.

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.

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.
