This is what professionals in California have nearby
First, to all the reviewers who don’t know, the ‘Cal’ in Cal Fire stands for California (formerly CDF or California Department of Forestry). This is your first stop for information on wildfires in California so that is where the priority information emphasis is The Cal Fire active fire map is your number one first stop to see the morning and evening report stats and assess each fire in the state. Having the Twitter feed included is golden. Those two features alone are worth having this in you pocket if you use them for work (as I do) could be threatened by an active fire or just want to know what’s going on. (Note - I write very few reviews and am not a Cal Fire employee, but my work puts me at many of the state's biggest wildfires)

great app for what it does
who needs the hyperbolic news when you can just get actual fire data direct from reliable sources. love this app - especially when my mom texts from montana with whatever recent sensationalist nonsense the TV has had to say about fires here in california. 5 stars.

So far so good
Haven't had a chance to use it much yet but it has several sites with up to date information since it is pulling directly from the sources. Not a great interface but it does pull these sources together on one page.
