Comments on FireMaps: Wildfire Map & Alert for Android
★★★★★Peter Cook· Jul 13, 2026
Probably best and clearest fire app available
★☆☆☆☆Michael McCann· Jul 22, 2026
I thought it's what I wanted, but apparently it's not what I wanted it's not doing what I needed to do I need to see satellite footage of this fire that's going on in my area and all fires that are going on in my area, but it's not showing it, so I'm just going to go back to the old way of doing it using Cal Fires app
