A day in the flames: Canberra volunteer firefighter releases film on the Nerriga firestorm

A short film made by a Canberra volunteer firefighter about his colleagues' experiences during one day engulfed in the Nerriga firestorm has been released, distilling the ferocity of the Black Summer blazes that raged up and down eastern Australia nearly three years ago.

Martin Greenwood, deputy captain of the Rivers Volunteer Bushfire Brigade, tells a dramatic story in the film Nerriga Firestorm from the perspective of Canberra and NSW volunteers tasked to fires burning near Braidwood, as they are confronted by ember showers and flames shooting more than 60-metres high.
