[OZAPRS] Fire and Weather

[Geoff]

Yep - that looks quite do-able.    Given that it breaks down right to the
Council area involved, we can EASILY trigger the "c" shapefiles in the
appropriate areas.   I would probably limit what is "detected" to a major
fire though (class 2 and 3 on the RFS page) otherwise we'll clutter up the
system too much.

G'Day all

I am just wondering if we should be including bushfires in the Weather
Server. 

Incidents in NSW are available by council area on
http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_content.cfm?cat_id=683

With some workflow software we could get the APRS community to geocode fires
as required... 

Are there other feeds available for fires? Is this a good idea?
