What's New in IGNIS | Wildfire Operations

2026.31

September 30, 2026

• Division and branch break icons can now be rotated. The icon turns with the map and holds its angle on satellite imagery, and its label stays upright. • Point labels no longer overlap full-size NWCG symbols. • Track recording keeps its progress if you close the recording sheet, and an in-progress track is kept if the app is closed. • PDF maps now draw above public data layers, and tapping a PDF map selects it instead of the layer underneath. • Location sharing now works the first time you share while offline. • Livestream alerts only appear once video is actually streaming. • Website attachments in Layer Details now open in Safari, and the Layer Details layout has been refreshed. • The highlight on a selected map feature now clears when you close its details. • If you cancel the Create Polygon prompt while drawing, your closing segment is now kept and the shape saves as a line. • Map layer order: Jurisdiction now sits above Public Land Ownership, and GACC sits below Severe Fire Danger Index. • Improved sync when a different user signs in on the same device. • Bug fixes and performance improvements.

User reviews

Just saved my butt

I didn’t realize Avenza had raised their prices and locked me out of my maps until two days into my first roll of the season….. and in a spike camp.

My medics recommended this app to me and it got me through this roll. It’ll be my go to for fire maps for now on.

My only issue is when I press the “focus on me” icon it also zooms me in all the way. Im not sure how to change that.

Interesting Application

If you work in fire, or live in a fire prone environment, I highly recommend getting to know this application.

Pretty Amazing

“As a wildland fire air attack pilot, IGNIS is a total game-changer. Real-time mapping, GeoPDF overlays, live fire perimeters, weather dashboards, and fire-specific symbology give me unmatched situational awareness in the cockpit. Drop target coordination with ground and air resources has never been smoother or safer. I also use it off duty for wildfire awareness. Built by firefighters for firefighters—intuitive, reliable, and essential. Highly recommend!”

Great functionality

Ignis is a fantastic app that is accurate and easy to navigate. Real time data, 10/10 would recommend.

My fav app

I’ve used hundreds of apps and would just like to say this is probably the best app I’ve ever used. Everything works great you can tell their developers are top notch. Never had a single crash and ui is buttery smooth. Not to mention track recording is better than any tracks app I’ve ever used
