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.

  • The best

    Living in a vulnerable area with high fire potential much of the year, we belong to several watch and fire alert groups. Watch Duty is the best. It’s accurate, timely, and flexible, all wrapped up in an app with a terrific UI and the ability to receive updates for multiple locations at once and quickly. Thanks, Watch Duty!
  • Multiple device support?

    I have a membership, subscription. I also use multiple devices. iPads, iPhone, Apple Watch and MBP M4. The program does not recognize my subscription on every device and so I’m missing the features I pay more for. Otherwise, wonderful and useful program that has been very helpful managing living in a high risk wildfire area, near Yosemite National Park. Thank you!
  • I joined & I thank you

    Used this app during the LA fires in January 2025, it was so helpful and informative. I really like the alert notifications. Glad I didn’t have to evacuate
  • Great Concept, but Only Covers Half of US

    I downloaded this app to more easily get updates on the many wildfires currently burning in Western NC. While the concept of the app is really great, the app only covers the western half of the US, rendering it useless to several states.
  • This app alerted me sooner that my reverse 911 call for my last evacuation

    My wife had this app and I didn’t. She alerted me to a fire about a mile from our house a solid 5 minutes before the sheriffs office did the reverse 911 call to evacuate.
  • Great Emergency Management Tool
