This Sunday 26 September at 8.40pm, the ABC premieres its six-part series FIRES on ABC TV and ABC iview. Inspired by true events, FIRES is a serialised anthology about the experiences of everyday people at the front line of the devastating fires of the 2019-2020 Australian summer.
Filmed in Melbourne and regional Victoria earlier this year, the series honours the experiences of the many people affected by these fires. It acknowledges the losses suffered and the ways people came together in the face of a devastating natural disaster.
The series will be accompanied by a wide range of support and referral services.
