Wildfire Maps & Alerts
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 rely on only 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

So much information, reliable, and if you become a member you get even more. It’s a good deal, and a good app to support.

Fire Watch by Firefighters 🔥

Living in a National Forest and working in disaster response this app is definitely helpful in keeping me updated on wilfires, Rx burns and events in areas near me and potential deployment situations. I get immediate info and fast updates. One suggestion: can this app be made available for Apple Watch Ultra? Great job 👏 Duty Watch !

Lifesaver

I’ve had this app since the beginning and it has notified us of fires near our home in the CA Sierra Mountains many times before any governmental alerts. They’re up to date on fire status at all times and I am so thankful for this app. 🥰

Usually I pass on the opportunity to rate and our review any apps.

However I felt I absolutely needed to speak up and offer both thanks and appreciation to the developers. All I can say is thank you. It's ease of use and information is top notch. It serves its needed purpose which is to inform the general public in real time and sometimes even includes pictures. I have downloaded this app on each of my devices and all are in the dock of each device. Great work everyone, great work!!

Must Have

If you live somewhere impacted by wildfires and could have only one app, this is it. Timely and accurate information. Well worth the yearly subscription.

New satellite, street, and finally a topographic map in addition to a whole new faster interface!

This winter we’ve been busy making our wildfire maps even faster with improved performance.  Not only that, our maps are easier to read with brighter roads and easier to read labels.  We’ve also added more up-to-date satellite maps as well as topographic maps for better situational awareness.

You may also notice we’ve made interface enhancements for better usability and less clicks when navigating between incidents.   You’ll no longer need to use a ‘back’ button to jump back to the main map just like Google and Apple Maps.
