<b><i>Inside the Inferno</i><br>
Screening at 8.30pm, Wednesday 5 November<br>
and Wednesday 12 November on SBS ONE<br>
</b><br>
<b>TEACHERS AND AV TECHNICIANS:</b><br>
Set your recorders for 8.30pm on Wednesday 5 November and Wednesday 12
November to record the two-part series <i>Inside the Inferno</i> on SBS
ONE.<br><br>
<b>SYNOPSIS:</b><br>
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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
<i>Inside the Inferno</i> 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, <i>Inside the Inferno</i> 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.<br>

<i>Inside the Inferno</i> 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.<br><br>
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.<br><br>
