Email
Emails are sent minutes after a fire being reported and we provide you with 100 free emails on registering. The email contains details of the incident, links to maps and key sites. It doesn't matter if you are at home, at work or at college, we will let you know what is happening in your neighbourhood.
SMS
Incident Alert sends SMS text messages to all Australian mobile networks to keep you updated whilst you are on the move. Ideal for the school run, supermarket shop or for the traveller.
Web enabled phones can continue to check for updates on the fire status using a unique link sent in the original SMS.
Mapping
 | Incident Alert provides interactive mapping that have CFA, CFS and DSE
fires. On bad fire days with large lists of active fires, it allows you
to view what is happening in just your area rather than having to
continue to read the entire list. |
