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.

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.
