"Having experienced first hand the big Valley Fire in Lake County and many more. The Watch Dutch app has changed so many lives by giving everyone up to date information on local fires and evacuation orders. Allowing many to be more prepared for safety. I truly commend the Watch Duty team. Thank you kindly from all in Northern California"

"Excellent Fire app, I live in a small mountain town that is a high fire risk area, I downloaded the app because I am currently in the Fairview Fire(Idyllwild, ca) and as I listen to the radio chatter within a few minutes I will get a notification of revelant information. 5 years ago with the Cranston Fire (Idyllwild, CA) finding revelant UP TO DATE information has so hard. VERY helpful.. :)"

"The feds don`t do a great job of keeping the public supplied with timely information. Watch Duty is stuck in from the start with ``all the news that`s fit to print``. In the past we have had to make life and death decisions on little or no solid Intel. The folks at Watch Duty have filled a large part of that communication gap. Many thanks to all of you!"

DESCRIPTION
Watch Duty is the only wildfire mapping and alert app powered by real people giving you real-time information vetted by trained professionals, not robots. All other apps only rely on government alerts which can be hours late or flat out non-existent.
Watch Duty is run by active and retired firefighters, dispatchers, first responders, and reporters who monitor radio scanners in your area around the clock to bring you up-to-the-minute life saving information.
Wildfire tracking features:
Push notifications about nearby wildfires and ongoing firefighting efforts
Real-time updates as conditions change
Active fire perimeters and progress
Infrared satellite hotspot from VIIRS and MODIS
Wind speed and direction
Evacuation orders & shelter information
Historical wildfire perimeters
Street and satellite maps
Air attack and air tanker flight tracker
Saved locations on the map
Watch Duty is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that will always provide an unparalleled FREE service at no cost, forever. Our maps and alerting will always remain free but if you become a member for $25/year you will receive special features as a token of our appreciation. Your membership dues will support our free service for all and remain free of advertising or sponsorship.
If you’d like to drop us a line, learn more, or ask questions you can reach us anytime at support.watchduty.org. We’d love to hear from you.
