This simulation was inspired by the real-life events of the 2019–2020 Kangaroo Island bushfires. These devastating fires highlighted the critical challenges of balancing civilian safety, ecological preservation, and fire containment under extreme conditions. We honour the resilience and bravery of those who fought the fires and the communities that endured their aftermath.
