We aim to keep you informed and safe with real-time updates and alerts. Wildfire Tracking Features: - Push notifications about nearby wildfires and firefighting efforts - Real-time updates as conditions change - Active fire perimeters and progress - Infrared satellite hotspots 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 - Save locations for quick access on the map Watch Duty is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

    This app has been very useful in times when I wouldn’t have batted another eye. It has notified my wife and I of unknown dangers very close to us and alerted us when needed. Thank you again for the help.

    I used to have five different apps, hoping one would give me up-to-date information on fires. It would drive me crazy, waiting for the latest news. Now I use only Watch Duty. It is current and aggregates information from various agencies. One stop shopping! It’s the best.
  • Works flawlessly

    What can I say works flawlessly with my new iPhone 16pro. I get up to date notifications that take right to the map and details of the fire. Oh the cameras are insane. For free I can look at feeds from dozens of cameras in my counties I am interested in. Excellent work. My wife and I bought a membership.
