P4G Pty LtdAbout this app
Developer Description
QLDFires provides information on current fires in Queensland, Australia
It utilises data from the Queensland Rural Fire Service/ Queensland Fire Department (https://www.fire.qld.gov.au) data feeds on fires 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 showing the nearest ones first, helping you to understand your current situation.
The information is reliant on both the accuracy of the phone's GPS and the data recorded on the QFES's website. Please note however that this application does not represent in any way the Queensland Government.
This application does not cache any data, so Internet access (either Wireless. or 3G) 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.
This application and P4G do NOT represent the Queensland Rural Fire Service or any other government organisation.
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.

does the job. shows turnouts. I would definitely recommend for anyone needing info on local fires, permitted burnings, crashes or hazmat fires. definitely aids in letting me know local turnouts I can go and check out. one issue I'm having at the moment as of this review is the lack of maps which had suddenly disappeared in the last few days. other than that, the app is fantastic!
Potentially really good but I can't set notifications and the screen is overwhelmed by the yellow smoke warning icons. It would be much better if these could be toggled on and off. The notifications is the big deal though, I don't want to keep constantly checking for fires. It's not just inefficient, it causes stress.
Was working well now all of a sudden it won't go past the 'turn location on' when pressing no thanks which is annoying because it shouldn't need it after putting in locations.
This app would be great but struggling with settings and setting a radius. I only want to see what is local to me. Not all of Qld.
Every time I get a notification it comes twice. That's un-necessary. Also this app doesnt show extent of fire grounds (where the fire has burned so far) like the nsw app. Or rather I can't get it to show if it's supposed to. Only able to see pinpoints where fires originally start.
