Black Saturday refers to the devastating bushfires that occurred in Victoria, Australia, on February 7, 2009. The name "Black Saturday" was chosen due to the extreme conditions on that day, which included record high temperatures, strong winds, and low humidity, leading to catastrophic fire behavior. The fires resulted in the loss of 173 lives, the destruction of thousands of homes, and significant ecological damage, making it one of Australia's worst natural disasters. The term has since become a somber reminder of the tragedy and its impact on communities.
