Human Factors
Using the aviation layer of an app called 'MyRadar' I noted the previously existing TFR was no longer displayed though a nearby TFR was. As I am a member of the local Fire Protection District this made sense because no planes were flying and the helitack crews that were formally stationed at our airport were no longer present or flying.Feeling comfortable; I certainly won't give it credibility in the future; with the lack of TFR on MyRadar as well as my observations and knowledge about aerial firefighting activities being suspended I proceeded into the TFR on the assumption it was terminated. When I landed a friend notified me that he thought he saw the TFR on another app. I called Flight Service and discovered the TFR was indeed still in effect. In the future I will cross check several apps and/or flight service directly.
C185 pilot reported inadvertently entering a TFR that he thought had been terminated.
