Occurred on August 9, 2021 / Flaggy Creek, Victoria, Australia
Info from Licensor: "Owner of the farm here was doing a WINTER TIME BURN of sticks and fallen bark...Although the fire was burning over 20ft away from the tree, we think that the tree's roots caught fire and spread underground to the tree. It was incredible to see for real as the fire was burning from the bottom, then shooting out above like a blowtorch. Fire-fighters came and put it out but overnight, it caught fire again, and the next day the tree came down."
