We have added tracking for additional @CALFIRE_PIO aircraft on our @ffoverhead bot to help monitor the incidents in Southern California
We've noticed an issue where some maps appear blank like this. It may be due to missing GPS data for the planes at the time of tweet. We're looking into it and will update when it's fixed.
