Morning all

Here to share our Pocket RAWS app

Our app directly connects to the NIFC (National Interagency Fire Center) API to pull near real-time data from RAWS stations—currently covering California in the first version (click in map to see all stations) We’re deciding which state to add next.

Pocket RAWS also includes:
• Fire Weather Discussions and Fuels Discussions (currently North and South Ops).
• Push notifications for station thresholds (available with a subscription).

You can download it from the Apple App Store—just search for Pocket RAWS. It’s iOS only.

We’re always looking for feedback, bug reports, and feature requests, so let us know what you think!

I’ve been playing around with your app and it’s really awesome! I’d think any if the western states with RAWS would be greatly appreciated and used in the field.

Thank you for the kind feedback! Yeah, I’m not sure which state to implement next—Oregon, Nevada, or Colorado.

I put in some feedback through the app. Looks good so far.

Yeah that’s going to be a tough call. Hopefully some other folks from those states will chime in. From a CA guy though it’s definitely a tool I will utilize.
