Intense, fast-moving bushfires raced across the Eyre Peninsula in south-central Australia on January 11, 2005. Driven by strong winds, the bushfires raced toward the sea in a devastating wall of flames. Some who were trying to escape the fire in their cars were overcome by the flames. Others were forced to swim out into the sea and were rescued by helicopter.
