About MAPSWA Volunteer Fire and Emergency Service

Mapping and Planning Support WA, also known as MAPSWA was started in 2012 after the Margaret River/Roleystone bushfires. We operate as a Volunteer Fire and Emergency Service (VFES) under the Department of Fire and Emergency Services in Western Australia. Our mission is to manage and train geospatial volunteers for deployment during bushfires and other natural hazards in Western Australia. In recent years we have deployed mappers to signficant incidents including the 2015 Esperance bushfire, 2016 Waroona-Yarloop bushfire, 2019 Esperance complex bushfires, 2021 tropical cyclone Seroja, 2021 Wooroloo (Perth hills) bushfire and 2023 tropical cyclone Ellie. We also provide support to the State Operations Center at DFES, Cockburn.
