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. While many other apps rely solely on government alerts, which can often be delayed, Watch Duty provides up-to-the-minute, life-saving information through a dedicated team of active and retired firefighters, dispatchers, first responders, and reporters who monitor radio scanners around the clock. 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.

    Fast alerts and detailed information. I get notified sooner in Watch Duty than from my local agencies. A MUST HAVE in this new age of global climate disasters.

    Watch Duty is amazing! I think I tried at least six other competing apps, and none of them come close to the quality of Watch Duty and the quality of the information which Watch Duty provides.

    Could not ask for a better or more timely Life Safety and Property information app, to stay apprised of urgent and important information. It is a must! I highly recommend it.

    This app cuts through the confusion of a major fire event and provides information from a broad spectrum of sources all in one spot. It has proved to be an invaluable tool time and time again.

    This app is an important resource for keeping those of us in the fire Zones informed about how serious a fire threat is to our particular location. In addition to advising us when it’s time to leave, it’s also important for letting us know when it’s safe to relax and get some sleep when fire is not an imminent threat.
