User reviews

Old app needs updated

Interface is basic and old school. Needs a redesign to stay modern. Since other much more modern and frequently updated apps with the same functionality always exist, it’s better to avoid this one - it’s not supported and should probably be retired.

Still getting run time errors it never lasted this long I guess it’s time to move on and delete it will be using watch duty for fire info now. This has not been updated for over 3 years not good.

Not updated anymore

App doesn’t seem to be managed anymore, fires are rarely shown or updated. Used to be a great resource and now is useless.

Inciweb parser fixed on 05/03/2024

Information not current

Perhaps lack of information on the ground limits the ability of any such app to provide current information on fire perimeter, but it would be helpful (particularly for those with family members in or near an impacted area) to have some idea of the present size, growth of a fire, and how much of a threat a fire poses to any certain area. The fire perimeter information hasn’t been updated in nearly 10 hours. A fire can cover a lot of ground in that time.
