In the most recent horrific "Black Saturday" bushfires in Victoria, Australia in February 2009, the death toll was believed to be 210, twelve days after the fires started. Police and sniffer dogs were still searching through the burnt rubble of whole towns. On 30 March 2009, after searching missing person's data and examining bushfire victims, this death toll was revised down to 173.
No deaths were reported in the Rockhampton bushfires of October 2009. The fires mainly affected rural areas and did not result in any fatalities.
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.
The devastating bushfires in Victoria, Australia, officially started on Saturday, 7 February 2009. Fire authorities were alerted to the worst of the fires at Kilmore, at 11.20am on Saturday, when smoke and then flames were seen near the top of a hill outside the town in central Victoria.
It is uncertain how many people were killed in Kinglake itself, in the Black Saturday bushfires of Fbruary 2009. Kinglake, together with the nearby towns of Strathewen, Humevale, Steels Creek, Chum Creek, Kinglake West, Toolangi and Flowerdale, was the worst-hit area, and in this region there were 120 people killed.
On 12 March 2009, authorities in Victoria announced that the last of the worst bushfires which caused the most death and devastation were under control. However, there were many minor fires that, without significant rain, were expected to continue to burn until the Australian winter, which begins in June. Conditions remained very dry, and lightning strikes caused more fires, but these were easily contained.
The conditions were just perfect for bushfires. Unfortunately the bushfires occurred more in build (or human) environments, not so much natural, which is why it affected so many people.
