From The Embers 2: Phoenix - When Lightning Strikes Twice - Ep 1

Lightning storms and fire are considered a part of life on Kangaroo Island. But the firestorms that blasted across the landscape in January 2020 were unlike anything ever seen before, and forbode of a changing climate. Two years on following COVID lockdowns and with tourist numbers climbing back up, birds and mammals are only just starting to return to fire-ravaged habitats, and a question looms over the community - what will come when the fire siren rings again?

A content warning and a heads up for bush fire affected listeners - this feature contains stories from the 2019/2020 Fires.
