BBC OS

When the bushfires in Australia surrounded her house, burning everything around it, Samantha Kneeshaw put on scuba diving gear and got into her swimming pool. She stayed there - with ash falling and fire burning around her - until it was safe to come out. Samantha told BBC OS her story. (Photo: Samantha Kneeshaw's pool. Credit: Samantha Kneeshaw)
