## Firesource Description
Firesource’s features:
◦ Live fire feed - both on map and in scrollable menu
◦ Local and national fire incidents - news updates and reports
◦ Fire perimeters - access all realtime fire perimeters at once with information about fire growth and progress, including acreage, containment, personnel, fire cause, and fire behavior
◦ Report a fire - instantly inform other users of a nearby fire by pressing the + button, taking a picture of the fire, and submitting
◦ Air quality - see the effects of recent fires by viewing realtime air quality measurements across the country
◦ Satellite fire detections can indicate new fires and how current fires are spreading

National Fires (InciWeb, Cal Fire, IRWIN):
InciWeb is an interagency incident management system run by the National Wildfire Coordinating Group. InciWeb collects wildfire incident data from several agencies across the United States and provides all of this data together in several feeds. Firesource presents wildfire incidents reported by InciWeb in real time, providing the fire’s location and detailed status. Learn more about InciWeb at their website:  Learn more about Cal Fire, which also provides incident information, at their website:  Learn more about IRWIN, the data hub of fire reports, at 

National Fires (Perimeters):
Perimeter data is provided by the Wildland Fire Interagency Geospatial Services (WFIGS) Group and hosted in the National Interagency Fire Center ArcGIS Online Organization (The NIFC Org). Firesource displays fire perimeters and descriptions of their progress in the ‘National Fires’ tab of the menu, with this information updated on a regular basis. Learn more about the NIFC at their website: 

User-Reported Fires:
Allowing app users to report a fire and immediately inform other users is an essential aspect of Firesource. To report a fire, press the yellow + button in the top right corner of the map, select the type of fire (vehicle fire, forest fire, terrain fire, structure fire), take a photo of the fire, and press submit. To ensure the validity of fire reports, the user must take a photo of the fire and cannot access Camera Roll to select a picture. Please note that submitting a fire report automatically creates the report at the user’s location, to further ensure that the fire is local and valid. When viewing user-reported fires in the feed, other users can ‘rate’ the fire report by confirming that it is active, contained, or a spam reporting.

Air Quality:
Air quality measurements from across the United States are collected from AirNow.gov, which provides national air quality data using the Air Quality Index (AQI). This data is color-coded to provide information about health concerns due to PM2.5 pollutants. 

Satellite-Detected Fires:
Thermal hotspot detections are displayed and collected from NASA’s Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), which is an instrument on the Terra and Aqua satellites. Information provided from MODIS about each detection includes brightness (brightness temperature in Kelvin of a fire pixel) and confidence (quality of fire pixel). These fire detections are extremely useful, as they can indicate new fires and fire spread. Learn more about MODIS at their website:

## Firesource Reviews in United States

### ***** "Good App"
I use Firesource as one of my apps for research. It’s a nice addition to have for quick fire records.
-- Nike.Noor, 2024-10-21

### **--- "Correction to MyHappy Farm"
You commented on the wrong app. This app is mediocre at best
-- Linda Marie C, 2024-09-10

### *---- "Inaccurate and useless"
Cant report exact location or adjust location after. Stopping AT THE FIRE SITE is stupid and dangerous. Cant report without photo but you CANT ACCESS ALREADY TAKEN PHOTOS. Other than national fires this app is a joke.
-- Fortyyroldcoolmom, 2024-08-05

### ****- "I like this app, but…"
As a few others have mentioned, a horizontal format would be useful. 

I’d also like to be able to sort the active fires by distance to my location in addition to the times the fires started. 

Thanks for all your work on this important app.
-- KimKemmer, 2024-06-18

### ***-- "Horizontal view"
Need this for iPad viewing
-- Dan Right, 2023-08-21

### ***** "Mark Halvorsen"
I love this app.   When we smell smoke or see it in the air, this is the best place to see what is happening.
-- pultoy777, 2023-08-19

### *---- "Frequent crashes"
This app shuts down when I try to look at specific fire information. Other apps offer detailed information about fires; this one does not. I have no idea why this app has such a high rating—at the moment it’s useless.
-- Sage131, 2023-08-15

### *---- "No Canadian coverage"
Right now there are terrible wildfires in Canada smoking up where I live in the us and I would like this app to cover wildfires in Canada to see how bad they are, or I will have to find another app.
-- BlueGoat11, 2023-06-08

### **--- "Used to be a 5 star app"
I live in an area that has had pretty bad fires.  Information on where fires are is vital. And this app does still provide that. But also important is: size of fire, direction that it is traveling, and how close is it to containment? This app used to provide this information and more. 
Then they did an update and added Irwin reports. Now, I can see where a fire started and that’s it. 
It has been a couple of years and not only is it still not giving any important information, but the developers are now trying to sell another service. 
To the developers: thank you for the years when you were providing needed information. I will be deleting this app now.
-- Lmalton, 2023-05-26

### ****- "Good, but"
Would be great if notifications could be enabled for nearby fires. I will increase to 5 stars if this is added.
-- Ciks, 2022-10-27
