On Saturday afternoon, 18 February 2003, fierce bushfires which had been burning in the surrounding region reached parts of Canberra. 530 homes were lost in and around Canberra, with four people killed and hundreds sustaining injury. A number of people were airlifted to Sydney for specialist care for severe burns. More than 2,000 people were evacuated from their homes.
