Great Map

This app is great if you just want to know the facts about the situation. Quick notifications and easy to use.

Thankful for this app!

This app is fantastic. Gives up to date and accurate information. It not only gives you the location and acreage of a fire but also shows close by Alert California cameras. Allowing you you go onto that website and know exactly which camera to look at. It allows you to set an alert radius so you don’t have to worry about needless notifications

App slept on but looks like important feature removed

This app is slept on! Provides great info and especially since I live in Oklahoma where fires aren’t mostly controlled by federal but state, they are still posted! Would be five stars but one feature that seemed to have been removed that is important imo is the wind streams that were overlayed on the map so you can see the direction that winds are generally facing, other than that this app is amazing.

Response from developer

Thank you Joshwx! Winds should be back up shortly, as soon as we track down the issue as to why they have disappeared.
