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.
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.
Inciweb at hands reach!
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!
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
Great way to stay informed of the fires within ones surroundings.
Minimalistic app, providing the MODIS and CAL Fire and other useful maps.
