The Australian bushfire season ran from late December 2008 to April/May 2009. Above average rainfalls in December, particularly in Victoria, delayed the start of the season, but by January 2009, conditions throughout South eastern Australia worsened with the onset of one of the region's worst heat waves. On 7 February, extreme bushfire conditions precipitated major bushfires throughout Victoria, involving several large fire complexes, which continued to burn across the state for around one month. 173 people lost their lives in these fires and 414 were injured. 3,500+ buildings were destroyed, including 2,029 houses, and 7,562 people displaced.

  • A temporada de queimadas na Austrália de 2008-2009 começou relativamente tarde, com chuvas acima da média em dezembro, especialmente em Victoria. No entanto, desde o final de janeiro até meados de março de 2009, a temporada esteve em plena atividade, com condições meteorológicas extremamente favoráveis para queimadas em toda Victoria e Austrália Meridional. Em 7 de Fevereiro, as condições extremas para o início de queimadas levaram às queimadas do Sábado Negro, que envolveram vários grandes focos de incêndio, que continuaram a queimar todo o estado por cerca de um mês. 173 pessoas perderam suas vidas nestes incêndios. Mais de 2.000 casas foram destruídas, sendo 3.500 imóveis no total. 7.500 pessoas ficaram desalojadas. (pt)
