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.
