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 Vic Emergency's website.
This application does not cache any data, so Internet access (either Wireless. or 3G) is required to access the data.

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.

Such a helpful App Easy to understand So important when you live in a fire Zone. Thanks
Clean, simple and functional alternative to the eternally disappointing official Vic. Emergency app. A dollar well spent. Could be better with a bit more design work.
It needs more detail on appliances as the old fire app had. The remainder is good to a degree . However it is new and still needs work . Today we have incident in Nsw out of control since 1 am. In addition asked to rate the app. No reply its not a good thing.Theres been a tree down in Croydon north for 2 days maybe it's growing again. Heres another example vic emergency app tree down 4 minutes ago . No mention of it on this app lags
I did love it, but lately it has been sending notifications on old incidents non-stop and is driving me crazy!!
Very slow to report in comparison to the Gov app. Adding multiple zones is difficult, the only way I found out was via a previous review. Doesn't work in way or offer features or workability that is expected from an app that you pay for. More like a limited trial version experience. Wish the refund option was available for longer than the blink, not worth paying for at all. Could not find any help files either. Should have believed the essence of the previous reviews 😔
