- At 3:20pm on Wednesday, 25th November 2015 Peter Rosenfeld and Vera De Ruiter were heading South on the A82 road between Tarlee and Adelaide. They saw a massive dark cloud and assumed it was a weather front. What happened next was captured in this horrific film and should be a lesson to all.

I was 13 when this bushfire happened and was at school about a 20-30 minute drive from this fire. What i saw was something that could only be described as doomsday. Orange sky everywhere, couldn't breathe because of the smoke. It is up there for the most terrified days of my life. Rest in peace to the two people that lost their life, glad there wasn't more.
Australians are well aware of bushfire safety, but the danger is not well communicated to tourists. Give them a break, it was no doubt a harrowing ordeal.
"I can smell smoke" oh really? probably just your imagination.
First you were going to drive into a bushfire and endanger our firies, who would have had to come rescue you. Then you drive while holding a phone. Driving while filming risks lives. 0:07 Peter Rosenfeld is driving while filming his wife. 1:40 he does a U-turn while filming with the phone, he continues to hold film until 5:22 during which he films himself at 2:08, filming in the rear view mirror and at 2:18 films his wife again. He films himself holding the phone in the mirror at 4:20. At 5:19 he films the speedo, he is doing 110kph and filming with a phone. And you knew it was wrong, because as soon as their were police around, your wife took over filming.
Always some brow beating do-gooder numpty has to have their say on TH-cam isn't there...
+Trude Paladin They didn't drive into a bush fire. Get your facts right and do some research on what happened with this fire before making comments like that.
Trevor they WERE driving into the bushfire before they were told to turn around.
davros0007 Always some moron defending the morons
+Trude Paladin The fire was travelling in a SE direction with the wind heading directly for Gawler and wasto the west of the A32. Mid-afternoon the wind changed to a NE direction which then pushed the fire directly to the road they were on. They and many others got caught. They were not driving into the fire at first and had no way of knowing until they were told the fire was in front of them at which time they turned around and headed back to where they came from. It’s also why they ran into what they did after turning around. Had they not stopped to video, they may have made it through to Gawler.
Before people go an comment negative, go and find out the history of this fire. They did not go down that road to put themselves in danger and when they began there was no danger. This fire was burning in a SE direction heading for Gawler and quite a distance to the west of the A32. Mid afternoon a wind change of 90 degrees occurred making the whole eastern side of the fire the fire front now travelling in a NE direction straight for the A32 they where and many more where on. Its also pretty obvious they and others realized this is not good and once they found out flames where now in front of them, what did they do? As to the video, it's a great demonstration of how fast things can change. So before you go calling names and carrying on, go and learn the facts.
I saw the frefighter dashcam, and I saw the change of fire. It was horrifying just watching. Seeing it move that far, that fast, a fire that hot...
i wonder what did happen to the semi. he had no hope of turning around
I'd imagine the CFS would've been at the edge of the fire on the main road, might have been able to do a burnover with him.
Ditch the trailer
tzq33tdq would have been to risky
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
And have heaps of fun!
I got caught up in this bushfire on my dirt bike :/
JesseJames oof that must’ve been hard. Are you ok?
in their defence, when was the last time England had a bushfire? I agree our travel agencies and consulates and airports should be doing more on the seasonal preparation awareness in a program as part of travelling. only australians would go 'oh stupid people' but thats because we live with this every year. what worried me is how everyone has left others on the side of the road like truck drivers who cant turn around. most of these people, nationals or not, didnt know about this fire because it was a momentous sudden tinderbox which no matter the prep or awareness, was something noone had any time to process except 'run'.
+Jo Arnold apparently was may 2015

+Aussie witch no I meant bushfire not scrubfire. theres a difference. any fire is dangerous and traumatic, but pinery covered 85,000 hectares, had canopy, wiped out homes, killed people, destroyed livestock, came within metres of wiping out complete towns and the wall of flame was much more massive than this, the sky was on fire for many many kilometres. scrub fires like the one you exampled is a burn off that went out of control but was contained and extinguished within a few hectare and in 6 hours. pinery was not a burnoff thats gone wrong in a low lying non canopy vegetation that contains no eucalytpus oils as accelerants or dry soil that had no moisture in it... the fire wall was as high as skyscrapers.
Jo Arnold this is a crop fire, not a bushfire.
No offence but you sound British. That'll explain why you thought it was a weather front.
Weather fronts that look and smell like that over the hot and dry Australian Outback are not weather fronts... any Australian will tell you, that's the unmistakable sight, sound and smell of a fierce bushfire.
When an Australian out in the bush tells you to turn around, you'd best turn around instead of driving into the thing. Hundreds of people have died in these fires from driving into the flames. 😔😥
The radiant heat alone in the midst of one is enough to kill a person. Temperatures at the core can reach well into 1000 degrees C.
Australian Bushfires are fast moving, very fierce and extremely deadly. This particular bushfire DID kill people so the message to any tourist is HEED ALL WARNINGS FROM LOCALS. We live with Bushfires every summer. We know, understand and respect Mother Nature in times like Bushfires.
Listening to locals during such an event will save your life too. We know what to do and how to react because it is so engrained into our way of life, its second nature to us.
I'm sorry but I can't understand the stupidity of driving into the smoke after being told by a CFS volunteer to turn around and head away from the fire. That is what seems to be angering most Australians who post on this video.
C21L01 sounds british I was thinking gay
Listen to locals and don’t drive whilst using a mobile phone (particularly in poor visibility-completely idiotic). From a Brit 🇬🇧.
This doesn’t matter if you’re a tourist or not. Its about driving a motor vehicle with a combustion engine. It’s crazy how people drive a vehicle (I’m assuming deliberately) into something like this clearly not even knowing how an engine operates. Engines need oxygen which is clearly what a fire thrives on and consumes, hence none/little for the engine let alone the ash completely blocking the engines air filter....and the chicks laughing not even knowing the danger of the engine being deprived of that. No wonder people die. They probably didn’t even think to clean the air filters afterward.
While obviously dangerous, and I'm sure they wouldn't want to be in this position again, they weren't the only ones out there and I do "like" this video as it portrays how quickly things can turn and hopefully can be of use to someone to show how dangerous foregrounds can be, not only in the horrendous conditions that was that day.
Next time probably get yourself something like a GoPro.
Extremely lucky, glad you got out. Many people don't.
Thankyou. You're not as glad as I am! :-) xx
Where's the disturbing content??
the stupidity in their heads was the disturbing content
"...you can get yourself into trouble no matter how light-hearted and clever you think you are. ...It’s bigger than you, and people have to research and respect other countries.” - Peter Rosenfeld, interview with The Advertiser
Good advice Peter, but please respect our laws too. It is illegal in Australia to drive while using a mobile phone. Doing this at speed and under extreme environmental conditions; winds and limited visibility, is simply moronic! Next time, hand the phone to your wife - properly. We have around 1500 road deaths per year in Australia, almost twice as many people killed by bush fires in our recorded history. You almost became a Darwin Awards nominee and for what? - a video clip for Facebook and a few bucks from the newspaper.
An amazing day Hollie. Glad you were ok, even though you got a soaking!
Don't know why he was uptight they came to Australia for an Aussie experience
well done to both of you. People are so quick to criticise, but you both understood the danger you were in and took responsibility for your own evacuation. Ive lived in S.A. and VIC all my life and dont think I could've stayed so calm!
I too live in south aussie..but emma , if you panick you die..simple as that
"Where do i head, my friend?" wonder what the copper thought of that?
I remember that day this angers me I was fleeing that fire and so were many others and then there's you guys pulled over taking videos
Agree
I don't get how they couldn't of smelt the smoke
+The Sniper Who Shoots Terrorists Not sure, but one thing, the wind may not have been heading towards them at the time...well, at least until they got close enough, anyway
not sure if driving at night with lights off or what - crazy shit that is
Is it possible for your car to stall in this situation? Due to lack of oxygen?
Yes! The engine was sputtering. It could easily have cut out due to choking (lack of oxygen). Had it done so I would not be writing this!
@@PeterRosenfeld Oh wow very scary! Glad you both got out safe!
Nobody knows what this is like until they witness it first hand. The majority of locals are as complacent as tourists. But the locals should know better. Having been a CFS firefighter for only 2 years I shake my head so often at the public's ignorance to the potential for danger.
I have an idea, lets go sight seeing while there is a huge bush fire burning...
Really good video. This particular fire caught a lot of people of guard and killed at least two with a number of others very seriously injured (burns to more than 70% of their body).
That would have been so scary, omg! 😫
That bushfire was on my birthday
I was literally in that fire my house got water bombed by a plane and I lived in mallala which is a town effected by it
why were u there..should have evacted be4 that
I've only seen a house water bombed once. May as well have been a real bomb for all the damage it did. Your quite lucky to have got out of that without injury
I was in owen when it happened
@@Bonstergirl1 No warning on that day.
Fire moved too fast from ignition because of the strong ropable winds.
Wanna see ' horrific'...check out the Canberra fire storm, or Ash Wednesday, or Black Saturday......or one of my barbies!.....FFS
Should got out of there when it was nearly turning black
We did! That's why I'm still here to tell the story!
More clickbait? Where's the drama in this clip? Gave you a thumbs up for being an Aussie but what's so horrific about this film?
He’s not Aussie, also, look up footage of the pinary fire burn overs, it moves at a crazy speed, and is u predictable and really hot. It’s is very dangerous and hard to
Navigate. What they did is very brave, considering they drove right into smoke, but they didn’t really have a choice. One way was fire the other was smoke.
Mate they came very close to dying there - fires on that scale are incredibly unpredictable
@@Ryan-ce4yr LOL wut? when did they come close to dying? they didn't require so much as a band aid from my understanding.
Lol that moment you realise you lack an education. Triple face palm.
