This is a great app, however it would be even better if the user could define two radii, with the smaller radius being priority 1 and the larger radius being priority 2, so a different, louder alarm could be played for the smaller radius. The radius size would also be much better if it could go down as low as 200 meters.

Great you can choose alerts pertaining to your area e.g. high bushfire area or flood plains etc.

A fine free, and easy to use tool for real-time, localized, emergency alerts such as fires, trees down, floods, and severe weather in SA. Though I do wish it also included major vehicle accidents, so we know of traffic issues

The app is quite basic, essentially a CFS map in app form. Pros: Quick updates Displays Fire bans Shows all current CFS incidents and warnings Cons: Lacks fire direction or warning areas during fires All fire statuses (Going, Contained, Complete) use the same plain white icon Suggestions: Add power outage info, earthquake alerts (2.0+), and river level/flooding updates for a more comprehensive experience.

Alert SA could at least let you know about a fire in your area sooner than 20 mins after the fact. This goes for other areas also I get notifications after the incident is complete not good enough.

The alerts are still too 'spammy'. I don't want alerts about heat waves. I know when we are experiencing a heatwave. I am not a freakin idiot! There should be a way to turn these off. All I want is alerts for bushfires. Also, when I have multiple watch zones configured, there are too many duplicate alerts, especially when a zone crosses fire districts.

Update - 2026, have had to uninstall this app due to causing problems with jamming the lock screen when a notification comes through. The help team tell me it's because my phone is too old, even though dozens of other apps all work fine without jamming the lock screen. I don't think this is an acceptable answer. Also, no way to turn off unwanted warnings about heatwaves, which also cause jamming problems. Do yourself a favor and avoid this app, download "SA Fires" instead.

Not happy with this app. I live in a fire risk area. This app doesn't give me all information I need which I can get on CFS app like the level of emergency, how many appliances on site, how many aircraft assist, a map showing constant updates of area burned full updates of action needed to be taken. We have a perfectly good app with CFS which is downloaded on cfs. That doesn't just continue to list every emergency service response as they are called out making it hard to find just the cfs info
