You can select places manually without enabling device location. BushfireSmoke Australia is an independent information service. PM2.5 measures fine particles from many sources and does not identify smoke from a particular fire. Research forecasts describe total PM2.5 and are not official forecasts. Data coverage and update times vary by source. This is not an emergency-warning or health-advice service. Follow your state or territory emergency service and health authority. In an emergency, call Triple Zero (000).
