Firesource - Live Wildfires App Reviews

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

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

Great for road closures on our trip through Colorado

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.

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
