2013–14 Australian bushfire season

The summer of 2013–14 was at the time, the most destructive bushfire season in terms of property loss since the 2008–09 Australian bushfire season, with the loss of 371 houses and several hundred non-residential buildings as a result of wild fires between 1 June 2015 and 31 May 2016. The season also suffered four fatalities; two died in New South Wales, one in Western Australia and one in Victoria. One death was as a direct result of fire, two died due to unrelated health complications while fighting fires on their property, and a pilot contracted by the New South Wales Rural Fire Service died during an accident.
