  • 10 the Murrindindi FIRE
    THE MURRINDINDI FIRE 10 Volume I: The Fires and the Fire-Related Deaths 10 THe Murrindindi Fire Murrindindi is a small settlement in the Shire of Murrindindi, approximately 100 kilometres north-east of Melbourne. The Murrindindi fire started at about 14:55 on 7 February 2009, to the north of a sawmill in Wilhelmina Falls Road, Murrindindi. It travelled rapidly and by 16:30 was affecting Narbethong.1 Following a wind change that arrived at about 18:15, the fire swept through the communities of Marysville, Buxton and Taggerty. It continued to burn for weeks in heavily forested public land and was not formally declared contained until 5 March. By this time the Kilmore East and Murrindindi fires, which had merged, had burnt 168,542 hectares and, among other things, threatened Melbourne’s water catchments.2 The fire resulted in the deaths of 40 people, and more than 500 houses were destroyed or damaged, mainly in and around Marysville, Narbethong and Buxton. The commercial centre of Marysville was destroyed, as was the core of the town’s economic activity in tourism and hospitality. Much of the town’s public infrastructure—including the police station, primary school, kindergarten and health clinic—was also destroyed. Figure 10.1 shows the extent of the fire. Overview Maximum temperature The maximum temperature recorded was 44.6°C at Coldstream automatic weather station at 17:34.3 Minimum relative humidity The minimum relative humidity recorded was 8 per cent at Coldstream AWS at 17:28.4 Wind The maximum wind recorded before the wind change
