Exploring Dynamic Map Layers in IGNIS!

IGNIS offers specialized map layers for wildland firefighting, enhancing situational awareness right from your phone. Learn how to navigate these layers and access additional information within them.

Dynamic layers customized for firefighters' needs are a standout feature of IGNIS. Some layers offer extra details when you select specific points, such as the current incidents layer and AlertCA cameras.
