Comments on BC Wildfire Service for Android

★★★★★ Jeremy K · Jul 16, 2026

Don't understand the low ratings, works fine for me. Reported fires show up quickly on the map and status seems to be updated quickly. Zooming the map to my area works fine for me. Used the reporting feature, and it seemed to work well and uploaded photos no problem. Does itbe intended job.

★★★★☆ Tige Gibson · Aug 13, 2025

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.

★★★★★ Sebastian Starr · Oct 5, 2024

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

★☆☆☆☆ T Mack · Jul 14, 2026

One star based on: 1. Not able to zoom in on one particular spot on the map. App keeps defaulting to a different region 2. When selecting fires in a specific region it doesn't take you to the chosen location 3. Why aren't the list of fires clickable on the main page, so they take you to the fire on the map 4. There are boxes to choose an area on the dashboard that ends up on top of other writing

The map is glitchy and unusable. Had to delete

★☆☆☆☆ Genevieve Nadeau Bonin · Aug 1, 2025

This app has gotten worst this year. The map is impossible to zoom in and out of, and it is so glitchy, I am constantly needing to shut it down to change the location on the map. The concept is good but the app needs some serious work.
