The app unfortunately does not hold record

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

Love it!

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.

.crashes on Cal fire incidents

Link to Cal incident map no longer working. Cuts out immediately when clicked. Other links seem to be okay. Problem started this morning. Working super yesterday and previously.

Great way to stay informed of the fires within ones surroundings.

Minimalistic app, providing the MODIS and CAL Fire and other useful maps.

Info incomplete

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

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.
