Wildfire info

kcopter on

Still getting run time errors it never lasted this long I guess it’s time to move on and delete it will be using watch duty for fire info now. This has not been updated for over 3 years not good.

Not updated anymore

Rick D'Elia on

App doesn’t seem to be managed anymore, fires are rarely shown or updated. Used to be a great resource and now is useless.

Information not current

EBECHIDAHO on

Perhaps lack of information on the ground limits the ability of any such app to provide current information on fire perimeter, but it would be helpful (particularly for those with family members in or near an impacted area) to have some idea of the present size, growth of a fire, and how much of a threat a fire poses to any certain area. The fire perimeter information hasn’t been updated in nearly 10 hours. A fire can cover a lot of ground in that time.

The app unfortunately does not hold record

devlin mccoy on

This app is horrible it is about whenever I try to make a fire go into a place it never updates the wildfires that makes the app bad take it off who needs an app with it I think it reminds me of Wikipedia not encyclopedia but if you can’t delete it just add more wildfires to the app this is reticules I can’t handle it anymore

Useless

Will Phettel on

The map will not display. Shows pins and thats all, nothing more. Using IOS 12.4.1.

Love it!

Bumihills on

Living in a drought area of California where wildfires have happened, I check this site at least twice daily. Thanks for making me feel more secure.

Info incomplete

Nick-64 on

While this looks like a good app, it’s very inconsistent. Many fire perimeter maps are not available. That should be the most important item to show.

A great tool

CaliforniaRobin on

Thank you so much for such a great app - I had some trouble initially with the fire map not showing anything except the topographical map. The developer contacted me. I deleted and then downloaded the app again. It is now working perfectly.

Useless

Kyoung21b on

This app is useless. Wildfires have been raging for 2 days in Napa and Sonoma counties in California with extensive evacuation orders. I’ve been trying to get information but there’s not a peep re. things like CAL Fire incident reports or updates via this app. The best I can do is stale information from the San Francisco newspaper.

Inciweb at hands reach!

crowfly80 on

Inciweb is my go to website for all active wildfire events. I do not live in an area prone to wildfires but I do pay close attention to them as I do travel quite a bit. Along with Inciweb this app provides outlooks for the country. Awesome app!
