This visualization maps current wildfire incidents across New South Wales, using GeoJSON data from the RFS. It renders each fire as a point on a geographic backdrop, with symbols encoding alert level and status. The map is drawn with D3’s `d3.geoPath` for vector tiles, while the interactive tooltip relies on D3’s event handling and DOM manipulation. Point positions come directly from the GeoJSON coordinates, and size or color encodes reported fire size in hectares, with a legend clarifying the categories. The visualization updates dynamically from the live incident feed, providing a real-time snapshot of active hazard reductions and forest fires.
