Fire Origins - Current and Historical

All Current Fires are recorded by Fire Management and stored in the FIREWEB database as points. The location in EM Incidents is the location of where a bushfire was first reported either by 000 call (ESTA) or being called in by crews. This point is not the origin of a fire, but rather the first reported location of the fire.

The data has been updated and is now current to the end of 2025/26 fire season.
