I work as a full time fire fighter and was deployed to kangaroo island, much later in the season that the recorded time of this video. Still so upsetting to see what Australia went through together. Hope all are well and moving forward.

It’s been a tough couple of years but Australia keeps battling on. We’re stronger together and we’re stronger today than we were in 2019.

I get emotional watching this and I wasn't even really affected😢

here we are 30th December 2023 and absolutely NOTHING has been done to reduce the bushfire risk nor anything done to increase funding for our firefighters

One thing alot of people don't understand about how bad this fire season was is that alot of northern nsw and qld that burnt is sub tropical rainforest that either never burns or hasn't burned in over 60 years

thank you for share this very detail beauty video on black times have summer 2019 into 2020 as special thank you every Australia firefight in Australia Bush service and family for special help through times

Well when governments gut the bushfire response, national park services, and ignore scientific warnings a decade ago this is what happens, but Scotty from marketing got away with it and Gladys is still knocking off koalas with impunity :(

I remember when this happened, a friend of mine who lived there kept me updated and I remember bawling when I heard of how many animals were lost or badly injured that they had to be euthanized..it sucks..they didn’t know they should have evacuated..they didn’t stand a chance to escape like the majority of humans..

THANKYOU ALL SERVICES WHO HELPED SAVED AS MANY AND AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE ❤❤❤❤❤ I luckily wasn’t affected by these fires but my godfather is a SES volunteer n he did goto these fires n he said his NEVER seen anything like it not in 30+ yrs as a volunteer

July 2021: Now the whole world is either burning or flooding...

As Australians, we ars a tough bunch, but as tough as we are, were no match for things like this, all we can do is try our best to save as much as possible. The worst thing our prime minster did, was force people to shake his hand, all for a photo op, we dont expect him to physically help fight the fires, hes not a fire-fighter, but we do expect him to stay in the country to offer genuine support, but he couldn't even do that. He dragged his feet when it came to financial support, he had to be dragged kicking and screaming, just to help the volunteers who left their paid jobs, to help with the fire-fighting efforts, he said well they volunteered to do this, he just didnt get it. This was a time i personally will never forget, driving through bushfire ravaged areas, just to get back to Qld, areas that had been burned, it looked like a war zone, i had to cut my holidays short, just so i could get get back home, and not be in the way.

21:15 start playing " i hope scott's house burns down by the chats"

Its amazing to see the responses of local leaders and parliament members. It is disgusting to see high level politicians going through on photo ops.

One year on and nothing learnt again no action taken. This is what happens when authorities openly ignore native fire management practices and instead apply European fire management practices to a uniquely un-European environment. Bravo more of this to come.

That lady left her horses in a pen ? Disgusting! At least set them free ! I would have NEVER left my horses - I’d ride them out first !!!!!

a BILLION animals.......holy Jesus!

Around 58 seconds in the video was that lazar beam?

Only thing money would be good for is building a 4 foot round pipeline from the ocean coming in from the north to the southeast area. Like a oversized sprinkler system and water pump system.

The fires that struck our nation, were in no doubt a repeatable scenario that will play out again. As Australian's we must all have felt the loses and frustration of our fellow country people who had suffered so appallingly user these frightful circumstances. It is time that we examined the possible unorthodox methods that could be incorporated into a new way of fighting extreme fire's in our nation. There are many ideas that can be implemented into our current understanding of the way in which we not only fight bushfires but understand fire's. Ideas such as having new technological advancements systems such as new fire proof trucks,tanks, heatproof fire suits,new and permanent aerial firefighting agency's. Not only can we employ these new technologies but we must invest in mitagational technologies such as drone and up to date satellite observations. We can prevent or mitagate these disasters and when these mega bushfire scenarios take place,we can be ready to fight fire's at the shortest Possible notice as to prevent larger outbreaks from becoming what we saw in the black summer. Just food for thought here ,because I bealive we can stop this madness and all those who have lost so much can somehow rebuild their devastated lives and rebuild where their home is,where they belong,the Place we all call home this amazing continent call Australia.

Nothing learnt and still ignoring how fire is to be used in Australia. Cold burns all year around not massive burn offs that get out of control as climate change make hot weather come earlier and earlier. I couldn’t breath the other week as burn offs sucked the air out of Sydney along with its massive number of SUVs stinking up the place and shitty public transport. We can do better.

😟😟

We shouldve known this was a bad omen for 2020

I hope RAE HARVEY is doing well be stronge she rocks what a women .

19:15 bruh what is this music

Please save australia jungle 🙏

This is the razor edge of science denial.

Good. I wait for love from you 💝💖

that was dope

The report says 1 billion animals. The description says 3 billion? Just goes to show all media facts are complete estimates.

33 lives lost, 3 thousand homes lost, 3 billion animals, i see the number 3 getting repeated a lot.

I love Australians they are like cleaver Americans but they dress like the English people there kool . I once said to an American women in london where does KFC first come from she said i think it was newyork it might be florida .

I have friends who witnessed the army lighting up the fires with fire wands out their windows as well as personally witnessing loggers lighting up fires on a 38C degree day near Albury - there are people and corporations that should be held accountable for the devastation our country has suffered and the people of this country deserve to be able to reunite

Lucky was plenty toilet paper

OMG 😍💋 💝💖❤️
