Heartbreak, loss, heroism, humanity and community. Inspired by true events, Fires tells the story of everyday Australians at the front line of the devastating fires of the 2019-2020 Australian summer.

The fire fronts join up, creating a 'megafire'. As a wall of flames bear down on Ruth and Nawra defending their home and the wildlife they care for, conflicting priorities at the fire control centre leave them in peril.
