Very useful app!!
Very useful app, as a Tow Truck Driver this is very handy instead of using a radio scanner to listen for accidents, with Watchzones set for our area it makes life so much easier

Description
This application is designed to provide up to date information about bush fire data in Victoria, Australia for iPhone, iPad and iPod users.
It utilises data from the Victorian Country Fire Authority/Victorian Department of Sustainability data 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 CFA's website.
This application does not cache any data, so Internet access (either Wireless. 3G or GPRS) is required to access the data.
We have enabled this application for the iPod Touch as well, but note that the GPS location and therefore distance from the fire may be unreliable.
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 Victorian Country Fire Authority and the Victorian Department of Sustainability.

Really bad
My properties under the threat it hasn’t been updated for days and the information is sketchy at best really really bad possibly dangerous
Vic fire
Excellent updates
Pretty basic but ok
Crashes when you try and adjust the settings
Brilliant app. Reliable, informative, everything you need.
All the information you need, in a fast reliable app. Far superior to fireready and vicemergency. If you want a fire app that loads well with a poor mobile signal ( typical in hilly high fire danger country), includes fire info., wind (essential), even fire hotspot info., is simple to use (I have found this critical when there are fires nearby, because you start getting stressed and have many fast decisions and actions to take), does alerts, sorting, filtering, etc., nothing beats this. I'd be happy to pay serious money for this app because I continue to depend on it. The Government apps have been more than disappointing.
Needs to be OzRunways compatible
Software needs to be updated to include kml or Kmz compatibility so it works on OzRunways. This will allow the fire location to be uploaded straight to OzRunways so fire fighting aircraft can fly direct to the fire using the aviation maps.
Very disappointed
East Gippsland currently has several bushfires burning but some site info hasn’t been updated for 3 days
Cynthia Goudie
Hopeless. Cannot get wind directions. Cannot change it to only give my home setting area. Settings don’t alter when changed.
Review
Great app. Far better than the vic emergency app, quicker with up dates and much more informative. Well done
Fire Ratings Forecast
The Fire Ratings Forecast portion of this App has been fantastic, not only giving the forecast fire danger rating for each region but also a number for each rating , indicating the severity of each rating. But unfortunately this has just disappeared, when you open the Fire Ratings Forecast from the menu the screen is blank. This has been the case for nearly 2 weeks. I’m a CFA volunteer and use this part of the App on a daily basis this time of the year. Hope it’s up and running soon?
