About the Book

On February 7, 2009, a catastrophic series of bushfires swept through the Australian state of Victoria, killing 173 people and destroying over 2,000 homes. The fires were the worst natural disaster in Australia's history, and they left a lasting scar on the nation.

Firestorm is the gripping and unforgettable account of those devastating fires, from the perspective of Greg Mullins, the former Commissioner of the Country Fire Authority. Mullins was on the front lines of the fires, and he witnessed firsthand the heroism, the heartbreak, and the sheer devastation that they caused.

In Firestorm, Mullins tells the story of the fires from beginning to end. He describes the conditions that led to the fires, the way they spread so quickly, and the impact they had on the people and communities of Victoria.

Mullins also pays tribute to the firefighters who risked their lives to save others. He tells the stories of individual firefighters who went above and beyond the call of duty, and he highlights the importance of the Country Fire Authority in protecting the people of Victoria from bushfires.
