App is not real time and possibly not even real

Disappointed

3 years ago, I found this to be informative. For the last year or so, with many fires with a last update 3 or more weeks ago. New fires are not shown for several days or more. Or not at all. Not much value to me.

Not listed

I live in South West Oregon & there has been a large fire in Agnest, Oregon for a couple days & wanted to find specific information on this fire & nothing. So far, not impressed

Not worth paying for..

I live in an area where there are usually active fires. This app did not display the two I know were burning in my area. There is another free app that had the fires.

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.
