Born from GIS Pro’s Commitment to Smarter Bushfire Assessments
At GIS Pro, mission is to help clients become fully autonomous in managing their spatial data. Over the years, we’ve worked closely with bushfire consultants across Western Australia, supporting them with GIS mapping for Bushfire Attack Level (BAL) assessments.
The Challenge: Producing Maps Was Slowing Down Bushfire Assessments
Through this work, we identified a clear bottleneck in the bushfire assessment process: an excessive amount of time was being spent on GIS map creation, particularly creating BAL contours and preparing site plans.
For many bushfire practitioners, GIS was a necessary but frustrating part of their workflow. Time spent navigating complex software, managing data, and drafting maps took time away from what truly matters, assessing risk, finding solutions, and advising clients.
The Solution: A Practitioner-Focused Mapping Tool
This realisation led to the creation of Bushfire Pro, a purpose-built app that streamlines bushfire mapping and reporting, so practitioners can focus on their expertise rather than wrestling with GIS software.
Built on the GIS expertise of GIS Pro and designed in collaboration with experienced bushfire consultants, Bushfire Pro combines:
- Simplified spatial data entry: capture site information directly in easy to use app
- Automatic generation of BAL contours: no manual drawing or complex GIS processing required
- All layers and information at the practitioner’s fingertips: instantly access site data, aerial imagery, contours, and vegetation mapping in one place
- Seamless collaboration: field teams and office staff work on the same project, with real-time updates
- Maps printed in seconds, not hours: ready-to-go site plans and BAL maps at the click of a button
Real Results Since Launch
Since launching in 2022, Bushfire Pro has been used for over 3,500 projects in WA and 600 in NSW, making it one of the most trusted tools in the industry.
Powered by GIS Pro
