Best app for wildfiresVery informative and interface is clean and easy to navigate
Love this appSo much information, reliable, and if you become a member you get even more. It’s a good deal, and a good app to support.
Top notch and reliable fire notification ooBecause I used this app soboften I decided it was worth paying for And became a member .
Keep up the great work in the app and fir expanding to more states.
Must HaveIf you live somewhere impacted by wildfires and could have only one app, this is it. Timely and accurate information. Well worth
the yearly subscription.
The BestBy far the best and most informative fire information on the internet!!!
Don’t Wildfire without it!Watch Duty is our “go to” for fire info in the western US. Living in the Napa Valley, we love the live notifications,
updates, camera views, etc. Watch Duty rocks!
Happy to support Watch Duty– an Invaluable serviceI became a Watch Duty member last year -happy to make an additional donation to keep the site operating. Thank you to the
dedicated staff, and many volunteers, who bring us important safety information year around.
Best Fire appWe live in a fire prone area. We use this app to get alerts of any fires in our area, to see if we need to evacuate.
Best Fire App Ever!I live in a Tier 3 fire zone. Prior to Watch Duty I had to rely on NextDoor or Facebook for fire information, which was highly
inadequate. Watch Duty has given me the power to know real time information. Life saving! Highly recommended!
Working nowAfter two reinstallation attempts, the app appears to be reliable again. Hopefully the freezing doesn't return.
Love this appI depend on this app. We live in a high fire zone, so everyone I hear the chime, I immediately open the message and read it.
It’s a very important app for us: I just couldn’t live without it. Thank You.
THE BESTThe most up-to-date, real time information on wild fires I’ve found! I’ve tried a few others, as a SoCal resident. Timely
information to make informed decisions is priceless in areas prone to wild fire. Thank you for keeping us safe.
Just do it- be a member, watch duty saves lives.This is a volunteer based company I highly recommend becoming a member plus you’ll be able to see more notifications on small
fires. Are Mario just support them you guys we don’t have any other app like this.
Watch Duty is the bestI live in the Sierra Foothills with two horses. This is prime wildfire country. I have experienced fires and evacuations. Watch
Duty has the info before any other app. It’s my “go to!”
Watch appGreat app !! accurate and reliable information
Great Alerts!A wonderful & much needed service for alerting people to near by wild & domestic fires in our area!
We are thankful of this service & the people that fight fires!
Our Hero’s!
Sincerely,
Linda Harwood & Family
Critical AppThis app and service have relieved so much anxiety for me and my family. We live in an area at high risk for fires, and real-time
data critical.
You guy rockMan ! You guy are the bomb info is on point, idk how y’all do it .me and all the firefighters here at pacific oasis la pine or
love y’all. Thank u ! Keep fighting those flames!!!!
Best fire watch appHighly recommend this app. Was recommended to me. It’s like the mother ship of all the other local county apps. I just bought
the annual membership for $25 after using for a while to ensure the non-profit keeps up this fantastic resource.
A true serviceThank you all for maintaining this app and non profit. It’s a true service, unparalleled in quality, and is deeply appreciated.
SteveWe live in the mountains in Southern California, wildfire territory.
Some folks wake up and check the stock market in the morning.
Others might check the weather.
I check Watch Duty.
Concerned citizenWatch duty let's me know about fires and info before I get it from cal fire. After the caldor fire effecting my neighborhood I do
want info asap and fire watch works for me
A Tool of LifeThis app has assisted my husband and I to keep track, with many details, of the many fires in our area. We live in Shasta county
and Watch Duty can be a life saver. We want to thank you for such a great tool.
I am ImpressedThis app is not only informative but fun and interesting. Keep up the good work! This app is worth paying for.
You need thisYou need this is you live where there are wildfires
Most often updatedThis site has been valuable in providing current info on fires in our immediate area. No need to bounce from county and state
sights.
Best app I haveI live in the foothills and slept with my scanner running all night during fire season, now Watch Duty does the scanning for me so
I can sleep!
Thanks WD
Must have fire appAs a wild land fire contractor. We depend on this app to follow up dates and pre plan logistics for call outs. Usually only a few
minutes behind actual radio traffic at most. Love that it also shows nation wide. This app has come a long way since the
beginning.
Info excellentGreat app if you live in fire country
Info is quick & accurate thanks
Great InformationThis app makes it easy to get updates and information about nearby fires. I’ve never been able to easily find this much high
quality info about the fires going on in my area. Simple and functional app!
Fantastic ResourceThis app has become indispensable to anyone who lives in fire country. The information is accurate, updated & combines multiple
sources of camera coverage, dispatch comms & incident detail from the fire ground. Highly recommended.
Fantastic and Very Useful and User FriendlyEssential for safety in fire prone areas
Excellent - Highly recommendThis app is the best. I feel less stress knowing I can rely on up-to-date information, at my fingertips! Ive been through a
wildfire in my vicinity a few years ago, and a lack of immediate information was very taxing. Thank you!
Must-have app in a wildfire areaThis app keeps me updated while fires are burning in my area so I can make decisions to keep my family safe.
Awesome appEverything in real time. Love the updates!! Saved me time from getting stuck in traffic if roads are closed.
Was a godsend in the fire in my area last year.
I appreciate the work that goes into this !
Essential If you live in fire countryThis is simply THE go to app to stay on top of fires.
Fantastic appSomebody knows how to design an app and present meaning full information and to provide quick updates. Best wildfire app on the
market. Keep it up.
So GratefulI used Twitter for fire news, but now that i'm on Watch Duty I can ditch it and still get critical information especially during
initial attack. Thank you!
Excellent App!We’re so grateful to have Watch Duty to have an accurate and informative access to wildfires. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
More useful than many government appsThis is great for keeping an eye on new or developing fires in my state, and often there info is better than the “official”
statements released. Glad to subscribe and will use it all summer!
Great appUsed last year, kept my family very informed since we live in a very high fire zone.
Lightning FastThis app is better than any scanner it is fast and accurate without false alarms it only alert you when you need to know!
A must have for fire awarenessI don't write reviews, but seeing as this app only had 457 at the time of writing, I had to call attention to Judy how good this
app is. Notifications work flawlessly, all California Counties covered. Get this app if you want to be notified of fire danger.
Really good alerting about nearby firesReally helpful and works very well. I do wish we could silence notifications on certain fires. There are just too many alerts.
THIS is the BEST App Ever!Finally a comprehensive app providing fast and up-to-date California Fire reporting. Kudos to this app developer!
Great appWe were evacuated during the River Fire and I wish I had the this app back then. Knowing what is going on not just in my area, but
in other CA counties where loved ones live helps me be less anxious. Great up to the minute reporting.
A great source for timely wildfire informationThis provides timely and accurate wildfire information. A must have in our area of Northern California. I appreciate that the
information collected and updated is from actual radio traffic and not posters opinions.
Anxiety ReducerThis is an amazing app. As wildfire danger has escalated over the years it’s been difficult to access reliable real time info.
These folks have done it. Kudos. And thank you.
Best app by far for fire informationWe live in the back country where fires seem to be more frequent every year. This app is awesome and I want to thank those
responsible for developing and running it. The info is updated frequently with the most accurate and up to date fire information.
A real life saverTimely and extensive coverage of fires in California.
Recently learned of a new fire south of us within a few minutes of the original report to 911.
If you want to know when fire danger is near, this is the app you want.

Was great… Keeps crashing now.Great features, important information for living in Southwest Oregon, worked flawlessly for several months, now won’t fully load
the screen, then freezes.
WD lost our logins againNeeding to put in our login everytime there is an update is unfortunate.
Can't turn notifications back onI previously turned off notifications for a fire because it was updating but out of my concern area. It has now expanded and I
want notifications back on, but every time I click it, it immediately turns it back off. Other than that, it's a great app.
Notifications needs improvedI have all notifications for two counties but I only get about half of the first notifications and click on a fire and say all
notifications I never get them. I’ve reinstalled the app twice and still having problems.
Words on maps are far too small and will not expanLocations on maps are far too small and I cannot get the words to increase in size with my fingers as I usually can with other
apps. Map expands and labels on locations do not.
