Description by P4G Pty Ltd(from Google Play)
NSWFires is designed to provide up to date information about bush fires in New South Wales, Australia for users of Android devices.
The application utilises data from the Rural Fire Service (RFS) of NSW (https://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au) for fire information and the Bureau of Meteorology for current wind data (http://www.bom.gov.au). This app does not represent these organisations.
Using this information the application is able to provide a list of fires that can be sorted and filtered to help you understand your current situation.
The information provided by the application is dependant on the accuracy of the data provided by NSW RFS.
This application does NOT represent the Rural Fire Service of NSW or any other government organisation.
This application does not cache any data, so Internet access(either wireless or 3G/4G) is required to access the data.
This application and P4G do NOT represent the Rural Fire Service of NSW or any other government organisation.
Be aware that while P4G has utilised "best efforts" to provide this information to you, it is not intended to replace other sources of information on the fire situation near you. Also remember that fire and weather data can change quickly.
If you use watch zones then it is possible that the application will store your current location at that time. This information is not correlated with any other user data, and can be deleted at any time. Please check the privacy policy at https://www.p4g.biz/app-privacy-policy.

Exceptional information. Hot spots with how hot using satellite imagery overlaid with weather and wind direction and with what time those measurements were taken. A must for those in at risk zones IMO!

The basics are definitely there, and it is improving with updates. Good information but some improvements needed. Slow to launch, sometimes over 15 seconds. Hotspots are different colors, but no clues as to what those colors mean. Hotspots sometimes not displayed at all (working fine ATM).

Only bought app because of the ability 2 setup watch zones which I cant set up as the app won't let me., just as useless as Fires Near Me :(

A few bugs: The 'Create New Watch Zone' menu option simply doesn't work. I discovered from another User that you can create a new Watch Zone by holding down on the Map for 5 secs. I understand the Apple version works OK. The back arrow in 'Notifications' doesn't work - so you need to 'reopen' the App to regain control. The 'Share' function looks like it has test data coded in the App - it has data on some (not current) fire which it attempts to save in the chosen target App (Memo, Message etc.), even when the Notifications list is Clear. The same icon (red flame) is used for two different purposes : Type (Wildfire) and Status (Out of Control).
