In the Australian state of Victoria, 50,000 km² of land have burned and 12 people and 1 million sheep and thousands of heads of cattle lost their lives. The regions hit by fire were near Portland, Westernport and in the Plenty Ranges, as well as the Wimmera and Dandenong districts. The burned regions extended over a quarter of the state. Conditions for the fires were made favorable by the long-lasting drought period, which changed the landscape into a tinderbox. Finally the fire was exacerbated by strong winds, which carried off a glowing ember from a campfire and ignited the adjacent grassy region.
