About SAFires
This application is designed to provide up to date information about bush fire data in the state of South Australia, Australia for users of Android devices.
It utilises data from the South Australia Country Fire Service data feeds on fires with your current location provided by the phone 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 phone's GPS and the data recorded on the CFS's website.
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 app was recommended to me as a good alternative to the Alert SA app that spectacularly crashed on the first catastrophic fire danger rated day of the summer. I set up a 25 km alert zone around my house and have had exactly zero alerts in the 24 hours since download. Also can't set up a proximity alert around my current location without doing it manually every time I'm wondering if a fire is nearby... That kinda defeats the purpose of alerts. Looks like I'm continuing my search.

Map works now. Can't fault the app. Hope it does not crash on Total Fire Ban days, like the state owned app did, that was promptly removed from my mobile to uselessness. Obviously I have turned to this app as the state owned one failed on me, on a very important fire ban day. Happy with this app so far. Thanks for fixing the map guys. Awesome job.

The operation of the app is straightforward and setting up a notification zone around home is easy BUT the map function doesn't appear to work on Samsung S5 unless I am missing something. If that can be resolved it would come out well ahead of AlertSA which crashed and burned when the going got tough.
