Currently learning a new fire brigade app called “Firemapper”. We are one of the first brigades in WA to trial it, and the first brigade in this shire/city. It was made by vollie fireys from the Eastern States and it provides almost instant map updates to all subscribers on the fireground.

Anyone with a subscription can see and modify the current situation map, which is instantly shared to everyone else. Any hopovers, dangers, backburns, etc are all shown immediately. You can even take a pic and it instantly uploads to the map. It looks like a good thing, a couple of the vollies tried it out last summer at an incident north of Perth and said it was worth trying out. I’ve managed to talk the city into allowing us to trial it for free for a month, and then the city will pay for it from then on.

Sounds good, in the right hands.
