Fire Source Great App in Victoria

It can take a minute to show the fires but it’s much more specific than the VicEmergency app and great to use together.
I’d suggest when it’s a false alarm, that the icon changes to black with a line through it and when it’s ‘safe’ changing the flame icon from orange to black. This would make it much easier to keep track of what’s a threat and what’s not. This app was a god send yesterday and really helped us with our decision to stay or go. Good app!

Crashes constantly

Hopeless. Just sits there with nothing on map, buttons dont work and then just crashes out

I’m sorry

It is very slow.

Useless app

Knowing there’s fires near me I downloaded this app and it shows no fires anywhere. I checked every link on the app and it’s shows nothing. Maybe it’s broken?

Leaves out some of the most important info

Only shows area burned at time of discovery and never updates. At present, it shows the Lee fire at 50 acres— it has burned over 130,000. It also does not show a fire boundary.

Just downloaded 8/1/25

NOT accurate so far! Pretty disappointed-just downloaded this app today as the Grand Canyon Dragon fire just turned MEGA, & our air quality at Page/Lake Powell is VERY POOR. Have heard that the fire is moving closer to the small communities between Grand Canyon and Page, wanted to track the fire and smoke. The Grand Canyon DRAGON/MEGA Fire is NOT EVEN ON THE MAP!! Instead over half of UT is on fire—according to the map—but we were told that a lot of those fires were mostly contained. Oh, and air quality in AZ is showing green-meaning good. IT IS NOT. I’ll keep this app for a few days, see if things improve, but NOT IMPRESSED thus far. 😤

Summer fires

Great for road closures on our trip through Colorado

Great App

I live in a wooded area, and with all the fire warnings in Texas, I like knowing where fires are in my area.

Not see much

Fires all over Oklahoma around Stillwater, Mannford and many other areas and not much of anything is showing up.

Good App

I use Firesource as one of my apps for research. It’s a nice addition to have for quick fire records.

Correction to MyHappy Farm

You commented on the wrong app. This app is mediocre at best

Inaccurate and useless

Cant report exact location or adjust location after. Stopping AT THE FIRE SITE is stupid and dangerous. Cant report without photo but you CANT ACCESS ALREADY TAKEN PHOTOS. Other than national fires this app is a joke.

I like this app, but…

As a few others have mentioned, a horizontal format would be useful.

I’d also like to be able to sort the active fires by distance to my location in addition to the times the fires started.

Thanks for all your work on this important app.

No QLD info

Disappointed that QLD information is not shown

Horizontal view

Need this for iPad viewing

I love this app. When we smell smoke or see it in the air, this is the best place to see what is happening.

Frequent crashes

This app shuts down when I try to look at specific fire information. Other apps offer detailed information about fires; this one does not. I have no idea why this app has such a high rating—at the moment it’s useless.

This app

Keeps kicking me off

No Canadian coverage

Right now there are terrible wildfires in Canada smoking up where I live in the us and I would like this app to cover wildfires in Canada to see how bad they are, or I will have to find another app.

Used to be a 5 star app

I live in an area that has had pretty bad fires. Information on where fires are is vital. And this app does still provide that. But also important is: size of fire, direction that it is traveling, and how close is it to containment? This app used to provide this information and more.
Then they did an update and added Irwin reports. Now, I can see where a fire started and that’s it.
It has been a couple of years and not only is it still not giving any important information, but the developers are now trying to sell another service.
To the developers: thank you for the years when you were providing needed information. I will be deleting this app now.
