National Fires Near Me provided by NSWRFS

Fires Near Me

This is the official Android application presenting information on bushfires for the participating fire agencies in the Australian states and territories and in New Zealand, developed by the NSW Rural Fire Service.

This application provides information on current incidents across Australia and New Zealand attended by those participating agencies. It also provides information on total fire bans.

The application gives users the ability to source information on incidents near them, using the 'Fires Near Me' function.

The 'Fires Near Me' application is in trial, and as such its features may vary. Support for the application is not provided due to its inherent simplicity. More information may be found http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au or the web site for the fire agency in your local state or territory or in New Zealand.

Your feedback, however, is gratefully sought, and will help us develop an even more useful way of giving you information on fires near you. Please send any feedback here: [email protected] .

For further information, please see http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au .

If a Total Fire Ban is active for today or tomorrow for your location – and that information has been provided by the fire agency in your local state or territory or in New Zealand – the Total Fire Ban symbol appears on the screen to warn you of this.

Fires are listed by the name of the nearest town or village, if available. This makes it easier for you to recognise where it is, so that you can avoid it!
