Current Wildfires Information for Android
My boys are wildland fire fighters and this app helps me keep up with the fires they are working. The links to the inciweb site work great!!
For my purposes, anyway. I've been looking for such an app and that the data is Inciweb based is the clincher for me.
I am enjoying this app immensely. One request: would you be willing to add the ability to select more than one default state? I live near lake Tahoe, and accordingly, I am concerned about fires in the Tahoe basin, which includes Nevada and California.
I have used this app for awhile and the information it provides is good when it updates the information. Right now it seems to be behind. It doesn't even show the fires in Sacramento that are devastating the area and putting 23,000 people out of their homes (9/15/15)! The fires were all over the news last night. So, the program is really good and easy to use but it needs to have more current updates.
Some Maps could use more granularity, but has lots of alternative ways to look for fire danger. Certainly easier than clicking around to many different links on the net. Developer has always been very responsive over the years.
the map is STUCK in Kansas, even though my chosen state is California. can't see any perimeter maps which is what I really wanted from this app. no response when I emailed about this problem.
This is my go to for fire information. It gives me some idea of if I will be called to a fire.
Great app and great response time wgen there is an issue! Thabk you!
Map of my location and the fires around me is nice.

Some maps could use more granularity, but has lots of alternative ways to look for fire danger. However, the latest iteration takes us back to linking via browser, which is a negative in my opinion. There used to be smoke maps, but the new version has lost them. The developer is actively working on the app.
