As the 2024 wildfire season comes to an end (hopefully) I'd like to thank all the men and women who put in hard work to put out these blazes. From the BC Forest Service to the contract crews to the volunteers and those who stayed behind to save their homes, my heart goes out to you all. To those who have lost their lives battling these fires. As an ex firefighter I know what it takes to be on the fire line day in day out. 2003 my last year I finally got home 2 days be 4 Halloween. Great work

App works. Great detail is good. Updates to fire behavior are timely, and the phone alerts me every time. My town is under Evacuation and the evac notices were prompt and well displayed on my phone with easy links to the issuing authority bulletin. I use this app many times a day to keep on top of the fire situations pertinent to my location and travels. Thanks for a good app with no glitches.

The only issue I have is that you can't zoom in anywhere near the edges of the map of BC. Well half the population of BC lives near the bottom left corner, and you can't zoom in on that area at all.

Horribly slow & glitchy, map zoom doesn't work like it used to. Thankfully the website works as this app has been ruined.

Used to work really well, but now it's too glitchy to use. You really can't zoom in/out or move around on the map. Tapping a fire on the map doesn't usually bring up details, but sometimes it causes the map to suddenly zoom way out. When I try to save a location, a text bubble pops up saying, "failed to save location." I'm on android and i uninstalled/reinstalled the app today, which didn't help. Edit: the 2.3.0 update didn't help at all and the app is still unusable.
★☆☆☆☆Alex Boots· Jul 25, 2024
Completely useless. Map doesn't load, when it do, you can't zoom in anywhere except the center, can't click on or see details of any fires. I thought this app was supposed to save lives. Reliance on this app will instead cost lives.
