By David Bowman, Professor of Pyrogeography and Fire Science, University of TasmaniaAs I write this, five people are dead and at least 1,000 buildings have been destroyed by wildfires that have swept across Los Angeles. Around 100,000 people have been ordered to evacuate. We are not yet sure of the scale of the disaster, but maps show it is burning across many suburbs. That is shocking. We are looking at a disaster unfolding in real time. But we knew this would happen eventually.

But we knew this would happen eventually. We have moved from possible futures to these things now happening. The deferment has ended. So, could something similar happen in major Australian cities – and how prepared are we? The answers are: yes, and not very. The areas north of LA have always been at high fire risk.
