Fire nearby - Best freeware Police/Fire Scanner (which do YOU use?)

Which free police/fire scanner do you recommend that does not have intrusive ads?

There's a fire, called the "Loma Fire" nearby, near the site of the big earthquake of 89 (also probably in sight of where Jeff lives):

Lots of WISP and radio dishes are at risk!

This fire started before 3pm today so is still less than 1,000 acres at this point, but it's gonna grow bigger (I can see the flames from my house, even at night - where the glow changes with the flames) since it's the fastest growing mushroom cloud I've seen in years!

I had *thought* in the past that the 5.0 scanner was the best free scanner for listening to the "CalFire SCU" frequencies.

But, after installing it, I was disgusted with the plethora of super annoying ads, the likes of which I have never seen before - they're that obnoxious.

Since the 5.0 Scanner seems to have gone completely over to the dark side, Googling, I can find plenty of listings of other free Android & iOS police/fire scanners, so I simply ask you for the one *you* use that has the least amount of obtrusive ads.
