About New South Wales fire information
Official warnings for New South Wales are issued by the NSW Rural Fire Service. Hipponics Firewatch brings those feeds together with national satellite and weather data on one fast map, and lets you set a watch zone around the places you care about so you are alerted early. It is a situational-awareness tool, not a replacement for official warnings.
