Firewatch Australia

Stay up to date with bush fires burning across NSW including burnt areas, active fire fronts and fire history.

Data from NSW Rural Fire Service and NASA satellites provides a comprehensive view of active fires across NSW. Data from transport for NSW provides real time road closures.

A history for each fire shows how the fire has spread via a time-lapse view and updates over time.

Filter the list of fires based on alert level (e.g. Emergency Warning) and status (e.g. Out of Control).

This app is for information purposes only. Please refer to other communication channels such as the Fires Near Me NSW app, NSW RFS public website (www.rfs.nsw.gov.au), the Bush Fire Information Line (1800 679 737) and local radio.

Great app overlays and collates data from Fires Near Me, Hotspots and Live Traffic giving you a clearer picture of the situation. Saves me from flicking between multiple sources. Designed well, easy to use. Also has a great overview feature that lets you see how the fire grows and plots the timeline.

A quick and easy way to identify and get facts about each bushfire. I particularly like being able to track where a fire has travelled during its entire existence.

Every time I open the app it shuts down and refuses to load. I uninstalled and reinstalled and had the same issue several times. Waste of time unfortunately.

Amazing app! It's a little buggy - crashes on start up every now and then, but nothing too bad

Not data for Western Australia?! What a joke - will be deleting this app. App title should be 'Firewatch Victoria'.
