Bushfires in Gippsland 2006-2007

The Great Divide fires burnt for 69 days, burning nearly 1.2 million hectares, or the equivalent of 10 million average-sized house blocks.
Victoria is in the grip of one of the worst bushfire crises in the state's history. Fires that began in early December 2006 were still raging through the Great Dividing Range Mountains of eastern Victoria, Australia.
This image of the region was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite on 7 December 2006 just before 11:00 a.m. local time. Places where MODIS detected actively burning fires are outlined in red.
