    I live in NorCal. My daughter lives in LA. During the huge fires (Palisades, Eaton etc) the accurate information on the Watch Duty app helped clarify the situation, keep me informed and calm me down. A lot of media want clicks so they exaggerate the circumstances on the ground. I am so grateful to the dedicated volunteers who keep this app running with solid, confirmed facts.
  • Thank you, truly.

    Watch Duty kept me and my family safe during recent fires around our area. Their updates were even faster than the notices from official state fire department ones. Love this app!

    I was able to monitor fires for homes of immediate family members as they were working or participating in their teams or school events.

    The best app for those who live in a wildfire area. It has everything you need to know - and has it before anyone else. Live webcams are a great feature that I use to watch the conditions over my neighborhood, even when there are no fires. Love you, Watch Duty!
  • Good app
