Fire Warnings- Links to State Fire Services

Postby Nuts » Tue 08 Jan, 2013 5:30 pm

Fire warnings coming and going by the minute, noticed that there are a few fire topics around. Thought it might be a good idea to link state fire service warnings. Lets hope the cool change brings some reprieve but the situation could very likely be ongoing, later in the week if not right through summer.

Here is the Tasmanian Fire Service (current warnings and clickable maps):

I'm a bit low on gigas just now, i'll find the other states when I get a chance (unless someone else wants to put in the direct links for other states..)

google is also mirroring the NSW rural fire service which is useful as quite a few times they were overloaded today.

I didn't find an easily useful link (ie/ map preferably) for the NT (or ACT) so didn't link the one I found, if anyone has these please post.

NT doesnt have a map as far as I can tell

Alerts are here - http://lrm.nt.gov.au/bushfires/media
Past fire maps are here - http://www.firenorth.org.au/nafi2/ - not sure if this shows live fires
