I can't remember why but I switched from the Fires Near Me to the Hazards Near Me app a few years back. Hazards Near Me
Iirc, the Hazards Near Me app replaces the old Fires Near Me and some other things. E.g. there used to be a separate app for floods; now it's all amalgamated into the one Hazards app.
Does NSW not have an equivalent of VicEmergency?
There's so much double up between the states, you wonder why they don't work on more stuff together
That looks very similar to the Hazards Near me app
I had not clocked that the hazards near me app was from the fire service... My bad!
I guess it does more than just fires?
Bushfire.io is another good tool. Similar to the RFS map, but it's not limited by state and they have more than just fire data. They have an app as well as the web map.
