Everything about The 1994 Eastern Seaboard Fires totally explained
The
1994 Eastern seaboard fires were
bushfires in
New South Wales,
Australia between 27 December 1993 and 16 January 1994 were widespread along the NSW coast from
Bega to the
Queensland border and inland as far as
Bathurst. Over 80 separate fires encouraged by extreme hot dry and windy conditions threatened many areas including the major cities of
Newcastle and
Sydney. The fires killed four people and burnt out over 8,000 square kilometres. They destroyed 225 homes, most in southern Sydney suburbs of
Jannali and
Como West.
Como West Public School was destroyed.
These fires generated a large amount of media coverage internationally. Unlike earlier fires, several of which caused much more damage, they entered a major city, as the latter
Black Christmas and
2003 Canberra bushfires would too. Also this is the only time a major city, Sydney, been threatened with total isolation due to fire. At the peak of the fires only the
Hume Highway to the southwest remained open, all other road and rail routes out of Sydney were closed. Residents of the entire metropolitan area of Sydney had to contend with ash raining down on them, and the sky remained a blazen orange for days afterwards.
