Detailed Review

Police Scanner: Fire Radio by Guru Network Limited Inc. provides access to live emergency service communications across multiple categories including police departments, fire response teams, weather alerts, and public safety networks. The application positions itself as a comprehensive monitoring tool for real-time incident awareness, serving users who require immediate information about local emergencies, breaking news, or public safety situations. The application's core functionality centers on streaming live audio feeds from emergency service channels worldwide, supplemented by features including wildfire mapping, severe weather warnings, and customized alert systems. Users can browse channels by category (police, fire, marine, aircraft) or geographic location, with the option to save favorite channels for quick access. The app incorporates push notifications for breaking incidents and maintains a database of railroad radios, amateur radio communications, and protest updates, creating a multifaceted monitoring environment. User experience is characterized by a straightforward interface with channel categorization, search functionality, and playback controls. Real-world usage patterns indicate two primary behaviors: passive background monitoring during commutes or home hours, and active listening during emerging crisis situations. The interface prioritizes channel accessibility over advanced features, with some users reporting variable audio quality depending on source feeds. Offline functionality is limited due to the live-streaming nature of the content. User feedback trends show strong appreciation for the app's comprehensive coverage and real-time utility. Chris Indy (August 22, 2025) notes the application provides critical situational awareness despite sometimes overwhelming content volume. Multiple reviewers including Jonah McGee (August 8, 2025) emphasize the perceived safety benefits of monitoring local emergency activity. Some users like OG big Sal (May 4, 2025) request expanded geographic coverage for specific regions, indicating limitations in certain area availability. The application demonstrates notable strengths in content breadth and immediacy of information, though limitations include dependence on third-party feed availability and potential coverage gaps in rural areas. Audio quality varies by source, and continuous streaming may impact mobile data usage. Ideal use cases include journalists monitoring breaking events, safety-conscious residents tracking local emergencies, and emergency preparedness enthusiasts maintaining situational awareness during natural disasters or public safety incidents.

Wish she could come and find the 10th and 10th east of liberty Park, where you guys have all shuffle them to liberty Park and the baseball diamond extra police needed.
