Good app but…

Only reports on specific areas of Alberta, (forest fires only?). So, no grass fires and no fires outside of Alberta borders that might be moving into Alberta.

A wildfire is an unplanned, unwanted fire burning in a natural area, such as a forest, grassland, or prairie.

If the app is only going to show fires in forested areas then it should be called Alberta Forest Fires.
If it’s has the Alberta name on it shouldn’t it include all of Alberta.

Real time?

Jasper Alberta is actually on fire and the app shows nothing. The reason I want an app is for real time updates. This one doesn’t work that well.

Very pleased

The new app is a big improvement. Being able to turn on the fire hazard and fire bans is a real bonus. Most of the negative reviews are about spring grass fires that are outside of the forested part of the province and are the responsibility of municipalities, so if you understand that you will have little to dislike. Slick interface, only wished that the data could be in the cloud instead of loading to my phone, but that makes startup just a tiny bit slower.
