Narrative:
Prepped for a short flight to tdo; approx 55 nm. Plugged route into foreflight on my ipad. Route came up clean; I saw no tfrs. I did this as engine was warming up. After runup; departed and climbed rapidly to 2;800 feet to stay below the floor of class B airspace. Leveled; set cruise; glanced at my ipad; and to my shock and horror found myself inside a firefighting tfr; and 200 feet into the ceiling of it!! I promptly turned away and exited it; continued on to tdo. That tfr was not on my ipad screen when I began my takeoff roll. It either was transmitted shortly after my takeoff; or there was some kind of snag with foreflight in the download. I don't know. The foreflight tfr has always been prompt and accurate for me in the past. Upon my return; 3 hours later; the tfr was on screen the moment it came up to speed.

Title: A light aircraft pilot reported a TFR incursion when ForeFlight was slow to display the TFR.
Narrative: Prepped for a short flight to TDO; approx 55 nm. Plugged route into Foreflight on my iPad. Route came up CLEAN; I saw no TFRs. I did this as engine was warming up. After runup; departed and climbed rapidly to 2;800 feet to stay below the floor of Class B airspace. Leveled; set cruise; glanced at my iPad; and to my shock and horror found myself inside a firefighting TFR; and 200 feet into the ceiling of it!! I promptly turned away and exited it; continued on to TDO. THAT TFR WAS NOT ON MY IPAD SCREEN WHEN I BEGAN MY TAKEOFF ROLL. It either was transmitted shortly after my takeoff; OR there was some kind of snag with Foreflight in the download. I don't know. The Foreflight TFR has always been prompt and accurate for me in the past. Upon my return; 3 hours later; the TFR was on screen the moment it came up to speed.
