For those that use the AlertWildfire Cams in TAK (or the new Alert CA cameras) service should be restored. Everything is the same, except for the following:

As always, please reach out if you notice anything wonky. Joe threw this all together fairly quickly over the weekend and was playing pokemon battles, craft maker, and CAD designer for his kids most of the day, so he was less than 100% focused. That said, thank you for your understanding and please let me know if anything is broken so I can let Joe know. I want to publicly thank Joe Austin of ninehilltech.com for doing this for free on his own time for our community.

I find it interesting, and it seems to follow the idea of a split that is less than amicable, that there is no notice on alertwildfire.org’s main page as to why a huge group of cameras (Shasta-Modoc region, where I live) no longer show or that there was another site to go to see them. In addition, I cannot find any mention of it in their help area, on their timeline, or a link to alertca.live in there related links sections . I had to come on here and look through a lot of matches for a search of alertwildfire until I found this thread. This certainly is not the best way to handle something if you have first responders and the public’s interest as priority #1.

Working on a project with AlertWildfire cams and fire/smoke detection in ATAK. The cameras turn red if they see fire/smoke. I clicked on this one wondering what I might see. A refinery with a flare in progress. It’s nice to see the model is working!
