There are bad years, and not so bad years. Prior to the 7-Feb-2009 fires, the worst fires were - Black Friday, 13-Jan-1939 claimed 71 lives. Ash Wednesday, 16-Feb-1983 claimed 72 lives. The 7-Feb-2009 fires have claimed 210 lives to date, and this is expected to increase as search parties comb the burnt out areas. Sometimes, it is not just the fires themselves which claim lives. In the 2009 bushfires, many people died in horrific multi-vehicle accidents because the smoke and ash reduced visibility to almost nil.
