During the off season the information in the feeds will mostly be from the last fire season, or prescribed burn activity, and current events.
For a fire to reach incident level, the fire has to have grown to the point of needing a command center. Lack of incidents is good!! You want this page to be inactive!
Unfortunately, every year proves to have more fire incidents, so be ready to evacuate and harden your home.
