DFES EmergencyWA Incident Areas (DFES-064)

The DFES EmergencyWA Incident Area dataset includes areas that indicate where a fire or other incident has been observed and are published on a case-by-case basis (i.e. not every incident will have a mapped incident area). Areas are reviewed and updated as required - determined by the movement of the hazard and the tactical response needs of the incident. Updates may be in fast, frequent succession or irregular tempo. Incident areas often depict the outer extent of an incident and may contain internal pockets of unaffected areas which are not mapped. The incident area should not be used to assume or certify any property damage or loss has occurred. The department runs separate processes to determine the occurrence of property and infrastructure damage.
