The map pulls Victoria Country Fire Authority data from an RSS feed and shows markers where fires are in progress, with the number displayed equating to the number of fires in a particular location. The map is color coded, so green markers designate safe areas, orange means contained, yellow equates to controlled regions, and red means fires are still in progress.
