	Bushfire Perimeters	Fire perimeters are based on information received both from firefighters on the ground and from aerial observers. It is important to remember that fire perimeters change quickly over time and the perimeters provided here may not reflect the current or final extent of the fire. The perimeters are our best estimate of the known extent of the fire. If sufficient data is not available, no fire perimeter will be displayed.
