Why aren't there new updates on an incident?
We will release any and all vetted intelligence within minutes after we receive it. Sometimes, especially on an emergent incident, where information goes dark and radio becomes quiet. This can be frustrating. We promise to upload any reliable information once we get any.
Why do the flame icons have different colors?
We use different colors to identify different situations. All active fires have orange flames, and inactive fires have gray flames. We leave a fire active, even when forward progress is stopped. We inactivate it only once we hear the all clear, with units released.
