Description
This is the original TAS Fires app and is designed to provide up to date information about bush fire data in Tasmania, Australia for iPhone, iPad and iPod users.
The information is provided to you in both a searchable/sortable list and on a map to help the user understand which fires are of importance to them. The information can also be shared via social media/email and text.
It utilises data from the Tasmanian Fire Service RSS feeds on fires, wind data from the Bureau of Meteorology with your current location provided by the iPhone 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 iPhone GPS and the data recorded on the TFS's website.
This application does not cache any data, so Internet access (either Wireless. 3G or LTE) 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.
All data is provided Copyright from the Tasmanian Fire Service and the Bureau of Meteorology.

Ratings and Reviews
Brilliant app
I just love this app. Not only do you get all the information and alerts for fires in your area or the areas you may be visiting but also the weather data is simply fantastic. When you tap on the icon for the weather station you get the most accurate data and predictions of wind strength and direction. The wind graphs are simply brilliant and I use this aspect of the app every day. Unfortunately, the data for the weather stations is not currently being displayed. Please bring back ASAP.
TASFires
Awesome app - given the uncertainty and amount of fires at the moment it is wonderful to have this to be able to refresh and receive current information. The map is great - showing your location in relation to fires and the status of those fires.
Costs peanuts - I’d gladly pay more for the peace of mind it proved!!
Good, but requires fixes
The app is quite good, however, the ‘watch zone’ function does not work (it will delete the watch zone you enter off its list within minutes. Additionally, you cannot search for a location by entering an address, you have to search for a location in the map which is cumbersome).
