>TEACHERS AND AV TECHNICIANS:
>Set your recorders for 8.30pm on Wednesday 5 
>November and Wednesday 12 November to record the 
>two-part series Inside the Inferno on SBS ONE.
>
>SYNOPSIS:
>To live in Australia is to experience bushfire. 
>Australia is the most fire-prone natural 
>environment on Earth. Nowhere else in the world 
>is so regularly ravaged by infernos of the 
>intensity, scale and destructive force of the 
>Australian bushfire. As our population grows and 
>spreads, and as the effects of climate change 
>are felt, the danger to loss of life and property escalates.
>
>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 firefighting and fire prevention.
>
>Inside the Inferno takes us into the terrifying 
>heat 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. By drawing on the most recent 
>bushfire season, Inside the Inferno explains our 
>current scientific understanding of bushfires. 
>In addition, the series examines the history of 
>bushfires in Australia and what recent 
>conflagrations tell us about how fires ignite, 
>evolve and die, and the crucial role that weather plays during a fire event.

>Inside the Inferno
>
>
>Inside the Inferno explores not only the 
>devastating megafires such as Black Saturday in 
>Victoria 2009 and the Canberra fires of 2003, 
>but also major fire fronts that received little 
>attention. The focus is on how these fires 
>provoked the evolution of the science of 
>bushfires and how we can devise strategies to combat them.
>
>With exclusive access to the world’s largest 
>firefighting organisations – the New South Wales 
>Rural Fire Service (RFS) and Victoria’s Country 
>Fire Authority (CFA), this two-part series is 
>the most comprehensive examination ever attempted of the science of big fires.
