Fixed a rare case where an ad shown at launch could stay on screen and cover your fire danger info — the app now always returns to your forecast. Full-screen ads also no longer appear over a result you're reading, and ad spacing stays consistent across app restarts. Thanks for the reviews and feedback!
MoreYou're right — an ad that covers the information with no way to close it is a bug, not just an annoyance, and thank you for the clear description. We're looking into the ad placement so it can't overlap the danger info and is always dismissible. Appreciate you taking the time.
The Fire Danger Index provides a daily fire-weather rating based on local temperature, humidity, and wind. It uses the Fosberg Fire Weather Index to give you an easy-to-understand assessment of fire risk.
This app is for general awareness only. The rating is a modeled estimate from weather data and not an official fire warning or evacuation notice. Always follow your local fire authority for official guidance.
