  • ON DVD & DIGITAL DECEMBER 15.
    When a volunteer firefighter drives his car into almost certain death during the worst fires in Australian history, he does it because he ‘has a job to do’. Three months later, the fires are out but his nightmares are just beginning. What’s tormenting him, however, isn’t the memory of flames. Turning a sensitive lens on the unprecedented devastation of Australia’s 2019/2020 ‘Black Summer’ bushfires, from a country-wide emergency to the astonishing stories of help that emerged, A FIRE INSIDE presents an inspirational look at the way people respond to crisis and its true cost to the human spirit.

    As a volunteer fire fighter who fought / survived through that horrific time, I will say that the short clip brings back a lot of memories.
    It is great that stories get told, but to me it’s still raw.
    2019/2020 fires will never be forgotten by those who survived.

Amazing people who love their community and fought so hard for it. The suffering they have to endure blows your mind. It is scary to watch it on the screen, cannot imagine what it was like for the community to experience it first hand. I can only hope and pray that better times are ahead for all impacted by this horrendous fire. May they be blessed with all the beautiful things life has to offer. Thankyou to all the amazing people who risked their own lives to protect the lives of their community. Truly inspirational, this is what a true Aussie is.

    Stephen Adair, Taromeo Rural Fire Brigade. Blackbutt Qld Australia. I have just finished watching this movie. Unfortunately I cannot be on the fireground any more as I have had my left leg amputated above the knee. I was on the front line for 10 years and in the SES for 12 so I can relate to the emotions in the movie.
    This being said , I can relate some of these emotions to my own circumstances. This is a very powerful film and I can wholeheartedly recommend this as a must see film.

    Except this was not just summer. From the mid north coast and up it started I WINTER (late july) and then continued non stop until late December. My town kempsey was under so much stress that every conversation wether family, friend, or stranger religiously ended with "stay safe!" and always had emotion to it. No one knew if it would be the last time you spoke with them or not. I personally find the name black summer misleading and alienates the communities that struggled from winter to late December.

I'm looking for that healthy wage, benefits and so called fat superannuation package..... not to mention the 0.3% pay rise given by the state government this year. Also... not sure what recognition you say we get. After ANY major bushfire I'm always asked why FRNSW weren't used to fight the fires. as for your assumption that professional firefighters stay in the "towns".... you're absolutely 💯 wrong. We are sent everywhere the unpaid firefighters are. If you only knew the real story of how many of the fires start and those left unextinguished .. I'd say you'd be taken aback

      Been a rural fire fighter for 8 years, when it gets that intense the water evaporates before it hits the flames, all you can do is get people out and wait for the situation to change. All resources were activated but they're better utilised in evac and strategy planning then wasting time on a lost battle

      The army is not a solution. Most soldiers have no fire fighting training, experience or equipment. Training them in these would take time away from other training necessary for combat. Ditto military helicopter pilots. Untrained, unequipped military on the fireground would have just got in the way That said, the military was deployed almost from the start in logistic and recovery tasks, which they are well equipped to do. All three services were involved

      The reality is that no one method of reducing fire risk is ever going to work.

      There just isnt enough people available to do the jobs needed each year, without looking at other restrictions imposed such as no burn days and the like.

Forget what Fitzchickenlittle and Roy Rogers say..... there is a turf war and the rfs get the rub of the green.
