Summary: "On Tuesday 7 February 1967, 110 fires ravaged southern Tasmania. These devastating fires came within two kilometres of central Hobart, killing 62 people and destroying 1293 homes. In the midst of the summer bushfire season, the lessons learnt from these fires are as relevant today as they were in 1967. The film is an account of four people?s lives, including the experience of the now Chief Fire Officer of Tasmania, John Gledhill. These people recount their experiences of that day, of the loss, the near misses and the strength of the Hobart community in rebuilding parts of the city." -- VIDEO JACKET.
