Fire Source Great App in Victoria

It can take a minute to show the fires but it’s much more specific than the VicEmergency app and great to use together.
I’d suggest when it’s a false alarm, that the icon changes to black with a line through it and when it’s ‘safe’ changing the flame icon from orange to black. This would make it much easier to keep track of what’s a threat and what’s not. This app was a god send yesterday and really helped us with our decision to stay or go. Good app!

Crashes constantly

Hopeless. Just sits there with nothing on map, buttons dont work and then just crashes out

I’m sorry

It is very slow.

Useless app

Knowing there’s fires near me I downloaded this app and it shows no fires anywhere. I checked every link on the app and it’s shows nothing. Maybe it’s broken?

Leaves out some of the most important info

Only shows area burned at time of discovery and never updates. At present, it shows the Lee fire at 50 acres— it has burned over 130,000. It also does not show a fire boundary.
