Book Review

Fire Witness is the explosive memoir of Stuart Hill, a former firefighter who survived the deadly Kinglake bushfire. The book tells the harrowing story of the fire, its aftermath, and the impact it had on Hill's life.

On the afternoon of February 7, 2009, a bushfire ignited in the Kinglake National Park, northeast of Melbourne. Driven by strong winds and extreme heat, the fire quickly spread, engulfing the town of Kinglake and surrounding areas.

Hill was one of the firefighters who responded to the blaze. He and his crew fought valiantly to contain the fire, but it was too powerful. The firestorm swept through the town, destroying homes and killing 173 people.

Hill was one of the lucky ones who survived the fire. But the experience left him traumatized. He suffered from nightmares, flashbacks, and survivor's guilt. He also struggled to come to terms with the loss of his friends and colleagues.

In Fire Witness, Hill tells the story of his experiences before, during, and after the Kinglake bushfire. He describes the chaos and terror of the firestorm, and the heartbreak of losing so many lives. He also shares his journey to recovery, and how he has found a way to live with the trauma of the fire.

Fire Witness is a gripping and unforgettable read. It is a powerful reminder of the devastating impact of bushfires, and the courage and resilience of those who fight them.
