NSW Fires
This application is designed to provide up to date information about bush fire data in New South Wales, Australia.
It utilises data from the NSW Rural Fire Service RSS feeds on fires with your current location provided by the iPhone GPS.
Using this information the application is able to provide a list of fires showing the nearest ones first, helping you to understand your current situation.
The information is reliant on both the accuracy of the iPhone GPS and the data recorded on the RFS's website.
This application does not cache any data, so Internet access (either Wireless. 3G or GPRS) is required to access the data.
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 can change quickly.
All data is provided Copyright from the NSW Rural Fire Service.

What's new
Version 3.0 provides the following new features:
- you can now set automatic refresh so that as fires come and go, you can see them appear and disappear from the list or from the map.
- you can perform a search for a fire or fires of interest to you
- you can select to see only going fires, or even only safe fires.
- you can sort the fires in council sequence making it easy to determine which fires are in your area.
- you can now twitter information, to keep others up to date on fire details.
- you can turn off the wind data if you like.
We have also added satellite hotspots to the map to help understand the size and location of fires. This is experimental at the moment so would appreciate feedback.
