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.

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!

Best Fire app

We 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!

After two reinstallation attempts, the app appears to be reliable again. Hopefully the freezing doesn't return.

Love this app

I 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 BEST

The 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.

Watch Duty is the best

I 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!”

This 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.

Best fire watch app

Highly 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.

We 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.

A Tool of Life

This 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

Must have fire app

As 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.

Excellent - Highly recommend

This 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!

I 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!

More useful than many government apps

This 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!

A must have for fire awareness

I 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 helpful and works very well. I do wish we could silence notifications on certain fires. There are just too many alerts.

Great app

We 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 information

This 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.

This 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 information

We 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 saver

Timely 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.

Can't turn notifications back on

I 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 improved

I 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 expan

Locations 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.
