FireWhat. Developed by two firefighters and an MIT grad, it replicates the company's website - a repository of information from the National Interagency Fire Center, CAL FIRE, the U.S. Forest Service, the National Weather Service, NOAA and NASA, among others. It also includes a live feed from Weather Underground, a service that offers spot-weather fore casting from thousands of personal weather stations. Users can access active fire-perimeter mapping, weather information, fine dead fuel moisture levels and probability-of-ignition data. In addition, GIS mapping data comes complete with custom overlays related to severe weather warnings, smoke cover, current weather conditions, perimeter tracking and more. The app currently is available for Apple iPhone and costs $8.99 for download through the Apple store. However, the company is working on an Android version.
