Fire Incidents UK – Stay Informed About Local Fire Service Activity With Fire Incidents UK, you get real-time insight into what the fire services across the UK are responding to. By default, you can view incidents from the past 1 minute up to 3 days back. However, this can be extended to up to 50 days through the app settings. Features: - Follow specific fire stations and services, and get an overview of their incident responses. - Receive notifications when new incidents are reported by the stations or services you follow. - Browse recent alerts based on the time range you've selected. - Open the app directly from the notifications tab (can be enabled in settings). - Easily spot followed stations in the general incident list with a star icon (toggle in settings). Q&A What information is shown in the app? - The app displays the initial alert message, responding station or service, and the time of the call-out. Can I see the location of incidents? - No, location details are not publicly available and therefore not shown in the app. Can I receive notifications? - Yes, you can opt in to receive alerts when you open the app for the first time or enable them later in settings. Why is there sometimes a delay before an incident appears in the app? - Fire Incidents UK is maintained by a private developer. The data is based on public sources, and incidents only become visible after they are officially reported by the relevant service. Does the homescreen widgets update without opening the app? - Yes, the app automatically keeps the widgets updated with the newest alarms. Important: This app does not support emergency calls. In case of an emergency, dial 999. Please note: this app is intended as an informational tool only, and no guarantee is made regarding the accuracy or completeness of the displayed data.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Yorkshire Live at 4.4 against Firefeed's 1.0. Yorkshire Live also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 8 months) and review sentiment (27% vs 0%). Firefeed's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
