A new hotspot download tool has replaced the "Download from map display" tool. The new tool allows you to download hotspots from an area and date range that
you select from the NAFI coverage. The hotspots are downloaded as a shapefile you can use in mapping programs. Go to the Data tab above the map and select "Download Hotspots" in the left hand menu. |
|
The NAFI Google Earth service where you can download kml files that display NAFI data on Google Earth has been updated with all NAFI data available in a single kml file. These data will be
continually updated so there is no need to renew your kmls at the start of each year. Go to the Data or Tools tab above the map and select "Google Earth" in the left hand menu. |

As the SMERF (Savanna Monitoring and Evaluation Reporting Framework) site does not yet produce reports on current burnt areas which many users find useful, we have
created a site that allows you see the total areas burnt in the current (northern) early and late dry seasons for a range of properties and regions. Go here to use the NAFI Burnt Area Metrics site. |
| A new reporting site has taken over from the Infonet site which has been retired. The SMERF (Savanna Monitoring and Evaluation Reporting Framework) site is available under the Report tab on NAFI. |
| The test NAFI 4 website has been updated with tools for querying the times of hotspots and viewing cloud and smoke as well as updated help. Go here to check out NAFI 4. |

The burnt area long-term (2000-2024) and 10-year (2015-2024) fire histories have been updated on the NAFI display and are available for download as images and shapefiles and as kml
files for Google Earth viewing. The Infonet reports have also been updated with the latest fire histories. The WMS links and the QGIS NAFI Plug-in have been updated so that the new fire histories can be viewed with the plug-in or with other mapping software. |
| The finalised 2024 fire history is now available for download from NAFI. Go to the Data tab and Geotiff & shapefile > Fire scars by year in the left hand menu. This map layer is also displayed on NAFI. The SavBAT tool 2024 update will be delayed until the first half of March - contact ACCUMethods@dcceew.gov.au for more details. |
| You can now view hotspot animations showing fire spread for any area covered by NAFI and for any year from 2012 to 2024. The animations can be viewed on a dynamic map where you can navigate to your area of interest. They can be viewed in either a dark "night" mode or a light "day" mode and can be downloaded as a video. Go to the "Help and Information Hub" link on the home page and select Infographics and Animations > Fire Spread Animations. |

January 2025 burnt areas (fire scars) are now viewable and downloadable on NAFI. They will be displayed together with the 2024 burnt areas for the first several weeks of 2025. The Google Earth and WMS links for burnt area maps have also been updated to include the 2024 burnt areas for past fire scars by month and the 2025 burnt areas for past fire scars by year. You will need to download the new Google Earth links - go to: Data > For Google Earth > Past year's fire scars. The 2024 burnt areas will complete final checking and correcting for reporting by mid February. The fire histories will then be updated. |
| A new version of the NAFI site - NAFI 4 - is now ready for testing. It has a revised map menu to make map layers easier to use. This site does not have all the tools yet as it's set up for testing and feedback. Once the feedback has been taken on board the site site will be fully developed. Go here to check out the new site. |

A new version (NAFI V2) of the NAFI Mobile app is now available for Android and iPhones. It has improved viewing of hotspots and finescale mapping. The initial version of this new app needs an
internet connection to work - you can still use the older NAFI app for accessing fire maps offline. Search for "NAFI fire information" on Google Play or the iPhone App Store. |
| For people looking for just the latest hotspots as a kml for viewing on Google Earth and other map displays, we now have a kml just for the last 24 hours of hotspots. This can be quicker to display that the standard 3 days plus burnt area kml. Go to the Data tab above the map, then in the left hand menu, For Google Earth > Current fire data. |
