Summary: "January 2003 saw some of the most ferocious bushfire activity the ACT has ever witnessed. At the end of the three-week period a significant area of the ACT had been burnt, many homes had been destroyed and many others damaged, and tragically four lives lost. The fires raged across the landscape from the most western parts of the ACT to parts of the eastern border. Around 1000 volunteers, career fire fighters and emergency workers combined to confront the fires and limit losses. This publication is a manifestation and pictorial record of some aspects of this extraordinary event from the eyes of those intimately involved." -- p. v.
