Narrative:
Preflight with duats (logged in). No tfrs on flight path for flight from iza to ZZZ. Departed iza. Flew directly over what appeared to be a fire. Upon returning back to iza; I checked my tablet. It showed a tfr for firefighting along my path. No firefighting aircraft were visually seen on either leg of my route and I did not spot any fire.I don't believe this is an issue as this was a non-official source; but I wanted to bring it to the attention of NASA as I am seeing differences between duats and other sources on tfr's. This happens in both graphical and text versions. As of this morning; the tablet source still shows a tfr but duats does not. Can NASA help in bringing official and non-official sources more closely in line?
