I got a loading spinner, and then an empty map of CA, and then the data loaded in, in distinct stages. If loading had gotten stuck at the second stage and I didn’t know better, I would have thought that there happen to be no fires at the moment.

Normally, I’d just shrug and move on, but in this case the misunderstanding could put people in actual danger. Until the real-time data gets loaded, this should be in some sort of obviously nonfunctional state.
