Active Fire Maps

No doubt many of you are visiting the 'Fires Near Me' website. This, of course, is the best source of warnings and advice. However their fire maps show the burnt area, not the location of the active fire. If you want to see where the flames are now try
https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/ . Naturally the burnt areas still have smoldering logs etc and so in the right conditions fires could spring up again away from the present fires. I'm using it to watch out for a friend at Bungonia (who appears safe) and another at Nelligen (who I hope has evacuated). There are no fires at Tabulam and the ASNSW sites at Ilford and Mt Bowen appear safe at the moment.

N.B. The data on the map is some hours old and so not useful in an emergency!
