Docs: Angeles Intel. Mobile App

← Back to App Overview

App Description

Angeles Intel. (short for intelligence) is a new mobile app featuring a live incident feed from Angeles National Forest (ANF) dispatch, live streams of ANF's Forest Net radio frequency, incidents like fires and accidents on an interactive map, wildfire push notifications subscription, and more. Agency personnel can verify with a .gov email for Admin Net access and the ability to manually refresh the incidents feed.

The latest, stable version of the app is always available in the Apple App Store for iOS:

Version 2.4 - Custom Notification Sounds, Performance Fixes
Published on Oct 13 2026

  • Performance fixes throughout the app. (The "Timeline / Recordings" view should be smoother now)
  • Custom notification sounds with all-original sounds: see the "Push Notifications" view

Version 2.3 - Filter Improvements, Dark Map by Default
Published on Aug 30 2026

  • Clearer Filters: The Filters button now shows a dot whenever any filter differs from its default (on both Incidents and Timeline views)
  • Reset Filters: Each filter sheet has a new Reset to Default button
  • Dark Map by Default: The map now matches the app's appearance out of the box - you can switch this off anytime in Settings

Version 2.2 - Wider Forest Net Coverage, Transcripts, Granular Notifications, and More
Published on Aug 25 2026

  • Wider Forest Net Coverage: The same stream you've heard on Broadcastify with very broad coverage of the forest (special thanks to Chris Buchanan)
  • Granular Notifications: Subscribe to specific tone types to only get notifications for the ones you care about
  • Tones You Can Tell Apart: Recordings are now labeled Wildland, Incident, Cancel, or Info instead of just Fire or Other
  • Recording Transcripts: Most Forest Net (only) recordings now show transcripts. Accuracy varies
  • Recording/Incident Linking: Our AI is trying its best associating recordings with incidents, which you'll see throughout the interface
  • All Streams Optional: Now you can turn Forest Net (and Admin Net where applicable) on and off just like the other streams
  • Download Camera Timelapses: You can now download timelapse videos from live cameras
  • See How an Incident Grew: Tap the trend next to Resources on any incident for a chart of every unit assigned or cleared, and when
  • Channel Activity by Hour: Tap the activity chart beside any stream in Settings to see how busy that channel has been today, hour by hour
  • Smoother Experience: Many optimizations were made that should result in a smoother experience overall

Version 2.1 - Night Mode, Full-Screen Cameras, and More
Published on Jul 29 2026

  • Full-Screen Cameras: Open any camera full screen and pinch to zoom on the live view or a timelapse
  • Active Incidents on Top: The Incidents list floats calls with recent resource activity to the top
  • Hide Miscellaneous: A new Filters toggle hides catch-all "Miscellaneous" incidents to keep the list focused
  • Night Mode: A red-on-black scheme that stays readable at night without wrecking your night vision
  • Channel Activity: Each optional radio channel shows a little graph of its traffic through the day, so you can see when it got busy
  • Cleaner Incident Details: The incident card hides empty fields, showing only what dispatch actually filled in
  • Incident Times (Bug Fix): Incidents with a future dispatch time now read "… from now"

Version 2.0 - CHP Highway Incidents, Unit History, Dispatcher Timeline, and More
Published on Jun 12 2026

  • CHP Highway Incidents: Traffic collisions, hazards, and other California Highway Patrol activity inside Angeles National Forest now appears alongside the existing ANF dispatch feed
  • Units, Assigned and Unassigned: Each incident's resources list now shows units that have dropped off alongside those still on scene, with the time each one joined or cleared
  • Dispatcher Timeline: Incident cards include a new Comments / Timeline section with the running narrative from CAD — useful when you want the why behind a call
  • Hide Resource Orders: Administrative resource moves are filtered out of Incidents (CAD) by default so the list stays focused on field activity — toggleable from Filters
  • Cleaner Incident Cards: Fields that don't apply to a given incident (fire status on a traffic collision, for example) are now hidden instead of showing as empty rows

Version 1.41 - Maps Overhaul, Lightning Notifications, Wildfire Cameras, and More
Published on May 31 2026

  • Incident Glossary: A new card explains the abbreviations you see in dispatch

  • USFS map layer with trails, forest roads, and visitor landmarks - toggle on or off in the map's layer menu
  • Al now helps enhance incident details (with full clarity of any enhancements made)
  • Quick Actions on the iOS home screen: long-press the app icon to jump straight into Incidents, Timeline, or Fire Weather
  • Multi-select in the Recordings → Filters view, so filter choices can combine recordings from more than one channel
  • Light/dark mode and color themes!

Version 1.2 - Push Notification Rules, UI Fixes
Published on May 6 2026

We heard your feedback, so please keep it coming! This release introduces:

  • Notification Management: Choose between Always, Weekdays, or a custom schedule (like 06:00–18:00 Mon–Fri). The app stays quiet during your off-duty window so you won't get pinged on your days off
  • Interface refinements for our handful of iPad users
  • Interface optimizations that fix crowding on smaller iPhones and devices using enlarged iOS text sizes
