64% wanted navigational/road views, 36% for satellite. Therefore, the bots have been updated to show navigational/road views in the detailed maps in v3.7.0. Thanks for your input!
Do you prefer fire maps with a navigational view, or a satellite imagery view? Navigational views are clearer, but imagery views show where vegetation is. #gis #wildfires

A request to fire agencies and media: Please put a Google Maps link, a lat/long, or similar when posting photos or news from a fire. It greatly helps people quickly understand where the fire is, especially for smaller fires that aren't in the nat'l databases.

REMEMBER: Satellite readings, fire maps, etc., whether from our bots or others, are not real-time, may be inaccurate, and you SHOULD NOT use our posts for safety purposes and you SHOULD NOT use them as an excuse to refuse to evacuate. Contact local officials and stay safe!

The @USGS GeoMAC servers that the firebots rely on appear to be going down intermittently for the last ~half hour. When the govt data returns, the bots will automatically start posting again. Sorry - not much we can do.

The bots will be down for a day or two for some upgrades.

PSA: In general, satellite readings and perimeter data are not real-time. They are often at least 12 hours and sometimes many days old. Do not use them as an excuse not to evacuate.
