Useless.

A fire started a mile from my house in the forest. Not a single mention of this fire. Homes were evacuated, still no mention of the fire.

No bueno

I have driven past active fires, and gotten texts from others first. This does not report much and if it does, it’s all over. Not what I want. I could read the newspaper for more timely notification.

Helpful

Great to be able to avoid fires when traveling

Fire status

We have had fires active for more than a week, burned homes and towns. And they don’t show up until the fire is almost out.
What good does that do?

Good display, not nearly enough selections

I like the maps. They let you know what’s happening and where. But there aren’t enough choices to focus on items or areas of interest. For examples, one cannot directly select by state or choose a distance around a city or the user’s own home or phone. Right now here in California, we have a smorgasbord of fires to choose from as topics. However, I would very much like to be able to get details between my home and San Jose so I can pick a route easily.

Great for quick reference.

I use this for quick yet detailed reference. Easy to use. Very satisfied.

Not Up To Date

Not up to date whatsoever. My whole area is being evacuated for a fire that isn’t even on the map

Fire app

I think another feature you may want to consider adding is a smoke overlay/layer and a layer to show burned areas.

Love this app though and we use it often because of where we live.

Where’s the fire???

There is a major fire 20 miles away from my family’s home and this doesn’t show anything. This app isn’t keeping up with most of the fires in Colorado or surrounding areas.

Useless

Does not show fires anywhere near my area and developer does not seem to care. I paid my money and got nothing!
