The Victorian bushfires, particularly the devastating Black Saturday fires in February 2009, were characterized by extreme heat, strong winds, and prolonged drought conditions. On February 7, temperatures soared above 46 degrees Celsius (115 degrees Fahrenheit), igniting multiple wildfires across the state. The fires spread rapidly, fueled by dry vegetation and intense winds, resulting in the loss of 173 lives, destruction of thousands of homes, and significant damage to wildlife and ecosystems. The aftermath prompted widespread discussions about fire management, climate change, and community preparedness.

The spatial dimension of the Victorian bushfires refers to the geographic extent and distribution of the fires across the state of Victoria, Australia. It encompasses factors such as the size of the affected areas, the spread of the fires, and their proximity to populated areas.
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.
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.
