Show current year fire perimeters
The year-long gap between when a wildfire incident's heat signature drops off the Fire Activity layer and when the fire perimeter finally appears under Fire History is frustrating and unacceptable, also surprising especially for a program like Caltopo with its heavy focus on the wildland firefighting community. Gaia GPS offers both satellite detections and same-year (current) fire perimeter layers, and these perimeters are highly useful in real time and the weeks and months following a fire--for all users. Please design a way to pull the fire perimeter data from NIFC database at a more frequent interval, since this information is readily available and is not a case of Caltopo helplessly waiting on it to be curated for their use.
