The Australian Bushfire Map is a cutting-edge resource that allows you to monitor fires in your area
The summer season in Australia has reached its peak, and with it comes the annual outbreak of bushfires. Even though these fires haven’t been nearly as destructive as some of the other firestorms that have occurred in the past, residents should still be concerned about them. This tool was developed with the intention of assisting people in remaining safe.
Checking the status of wildfires in the area around your property is a breeze with the help of the map. You will be able to see the current location of fire spots and lightning activity if you input your address and then click on the search button which will then give you access to the map and fires in the area.
People who live in areas where there is a high risk of wildfires will find this to be an extremely helpful tool. You can maintain both your safety and your awareness of the fire situation in the area around you by using the Australian Bushfire Map.
