Alerts for Bushfires

Considering that bushfires are a matter of life & death as well as managing to decide if you stay & defend or leave for safer surroundings, this app could have more information. Current accurate as possible information is the key to saving lives.

Highly recommend

Today the app alerted me to a grass fire at the end of my street within minutes of it being reported! Highly recommend this for anyone in bushfire zones.

Current fire text size font

Hi great app. I am in the cfs and use this app several times a day. I find the font size in red of the current fire is a little too large and it covers the number of appliances that are on scene . Or maybe the field could be shortened so as not to cover the number of appliances. Regards bob wake
