The APP is still in initial versions but already does the job well. On the Android version it serves both for reporting wildfires on a map but also, and more importantly, for receiving wildfire alerts from a Fire Detection system called "LookOut". LookOut is an easy to use and easy to implement wildfire detection system that runs on surveillance cameras, detects wildfire smokes 24/7 and send alerts to registered mobile phones. In case your community still do not have a wildfire system installed and there is danger of wildfire in the vicinity, you should definitely recommend them LookOut. If you have an iPhone6S or higher on hand, you may also try the APP as on this type of phones it turns your phone into a wildfire detection camera. The APPs are somewhat "collabotative" and positive or negative feedbacks on detection alerts received will help constantly improve the AI algorithms that detect the fires.
