WAFires

Inspect reported Western Australian fires and nearby wind information.

Our take

Useful as a secondary view alongside official warnings

Distance-sorted incidents and ForeFlight handoff help inspect reported locations.

Keep in mind: No fire data is cached: connectivity, GPS and feed accuracy are required. It is explicitly not a replacement for official emergency information.

What you can do

  • DFES incident list
  • Nearest-location and weather context
  • Incident-coordinate ForeFlight handoff

Good for

  • People cross-checking public WA reports

Consider alternatives for

  • Guaranteed live emergency or evacuation guidance

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 13.0.
  • No fire data is cached: connectivity, GPS and feed accuracy are required. It is explicitly not a replacement for official emergency information.

Privacy & permissions

Location and sent incident coordinates expose the selected area to receiving services; control sharing and never rely on stale/offline views.
