Waterbomber Wildfire Tracker

I have been a wild land firefighter in B. C, Canada for almost 15 years and in my time in doing so, it was worth every second. It certainly would have been beneficial to have this technology and all these Apps which can be so useful and deliver knowledge to those men and women on the ground battling the forest fires. I have certainly seen some unbelievable fire behavior but have been incredibly hit with adrenaline when watching our bird dog aircraft approaching with 1,2,3 sometimes 4 aircraft in tow preparing to drop retardant down across the flanks and at the head of fires as well as myself guiding in heli drops of water from small to large helicopters to extinguish hotspots within and outside the perimeters of pretty much all the fires I have battled. This app would be so useful to anyone who is fighting fires or those who need to be airlifted to safety by knowing where these birds are should they be caught with no escape from the roaring hell of a forest wildfire. Saving a life is the most important thing and if this app achieves that in any means then we can continue to advance our technology creating and improving apps, but most of all some people developed a very handy tool that is more valuable than anything else that is used to put out fire. Thanks to those who developed and put this app into our hands for good purpose, you are heroes in my heart.

I recently was in a fire fighting program at my school and the program usually do a wild land unit but with covid and stuff we really didn't jump in depth on it. But we looked at some apps and this was on of them. Where I live we had a massive wildfire that has the name of cameron Marin. That fire was going on while I was in the program and we looked at the app and saw all the aircraft and helicopters in the area. Also, medical aircraft to for medical stuff to defenitly gets 5 stars for me

Just not worth all the PAID UPGRADES to make the program useful to me. I will continue to search for a more useful app. As a side note, it does have a few nice NONE PAID features. To each their own!

I'm standing in Marysville, Utah watching helicopters flying over the fire and not one appears on the app. I see them in Colorado and California but none in my area.

Maybe I'm missing a setting somewhere, but the app shows me a total of four aircraft. Across the entire United States. I'm no expert, but I suspect there might be a few more than four. Uninstalling.
