The 2019–20 Australian bushfire season was the deadliest and most destructive in Australian history. The fires started in late 2019 and continued until mid-2020, burning over 12.6 million hectares of land and destroying more than 3,000 homes. The fires caused the deaths of at least 34 people and left over 1 million people displaced. The fires also caused widespread damage to infrastructure and wildlife.
