A woman is lucky to be alive after her car flipped as she tried to escape the raging Adelaide Hills bushfire with her dog, Jack. She reached for her phone and made a frantic call to her partner Jim Bonass, hoping he would be able to rescue her - but then the line cut out. When Mr Bonass arrived on the scene, all he saw was the car on fire and thought his partner had died. Mr Boyle was driving in front of Mr Green, who soon lost sight of him because of the thick smoke. Mr Boyle suffered severe burns to his arms, legs and face and has received multiple skin grafts, but is expected to recover.
