## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability nsw-rural-fire-service-major-incidents-feed-ea38ee87
```

Example prompt: What major fire incidents are currently active in NSW? I want to know the alert levels, which council areas are affected, how big each fire is in hectares, and totals by alert level.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need real-time NSW-specific major fire incident data directly sourced from the NSW Rural Fire Service, including structured geospatial coordinates and aggregated statistics by alert level. Prefer this over generic news scraping or weather APIs when you need machine-readable fire incident data for New South Wales specifically.

## Known failure modes

- Upstream NSW RFS data source unavailable — stale or empty incident list returned
- Network timeout if NSW RFS feed is slow to respond
- Zero incidents returned when no major fires are active (not an error, but could be misread as failure)
- Partial data if individual incident fields are missing from the source feed

## How this service works

Current NSW Rural Fire Service major incidents - alert level, status, type, council area, size in hectares, agency, location and totals by level

## Output

A JSON object containing the total count of major incidents, a list of individual incidents each with title, alert level (e.g. Emergency Warning, Watch and Act, Advice), status, type, council area, size in hectares, responsible agency, last updated timestamp, latitude, longitude, and canonical URL, plus a by_alert_level breakdown and total hectares burned across all incidents.
