If you expand your thinking beyond typical ARPS use and think of more
general GIS-related data that could be useful (e.g. in emergency
situations, for much broader overall WX awareness), firenet is a
source for that sort of data.  I prefer more verbose data about severe
weather than is currently available on APRS-IS; this is available on
firenet.

APRS is about situational awareness, and firenet gives you more data
than is available on the national 1200 baud 2m channel.
