There were so many fires, they moved so quickly and with such ferocity that the warning systems and the plans the authorities and ordinary Australians had always relied on to deal with a bushfire emergency failed with dire consequences. This was a fire that re-wrote history and broke all the rules.'
On 7 February 2009, Australia suffered its worst bushfire disaster. Black Saturday claimed 173 lives, left almost 8000 people homeless and destroyed close to half a million hectares of Victorian bushland – equivalent to a quarter of a million football fields. 2300 homes were lost. One year on, Inside the Firestorm tells the story of what happened on that terrible day. It is a powerful and gripping film of record, a film that commemorates the catastrophe as seen through the eyes of those who were there.
