Bushfires- Inside the Inferno is a two-part series on SBS TV on 5 and 12 November (8.30pm), made with the assistance of the CRC and many of our partners.
Drawing on the work of many of our researchers, the series looks at the 2013-14 fire season in south eastern Australia.
The program promotion reads:
What do we know about bushfires and how can we prevent their devastating consequences? Not surprisingly, Australia is a world leader in fire research and the complex and technologically sophisticated job of fire fighting and prevention.
Inside The Inferno takes us into the terrifying heart of major fire events, unfolding the research that explains how fires start, grow and change; and how we predict them, prevent them, fight them and hopefully survive these violent natural disasters.
This is the most comprehensive examination ever attempted of the science of big fires, filmed using ground-breaking techniques that reveal the awesome power of fires and the immense effort that goes into fighting them.
