Project Description

FireWatch is a free to download app which allows users to input there contact details and postcode to upload potential fire risks in their area, as well as links to BOM with push notifications that warn users about upcoming bush fire weather. The app also provides links to their local council and fire department depending on the post code provided. The app will also include information on preparing your house/property for bush fire protection. With government sponsorship there can also be a push to have the app compulsory for civilians wanting to burn off or have large domestic fires.
