About this app

Watch Duty is operated by real people, not machines or crowdsourcing. Our staff and volunteers are active and retired emergency dispatchers, first responders, and reporters. We collaborate in real-time, gathering information from official sources and radio communications to distill clear facts on fire and flooding incidents, covered 24 hours/day. If an incident we are monitoring has a threat to life or property, we notify the public via the Watch Duty app.

Who is it for?

People who are, or have family members in, fire-affected areas and seasons, or first-responders
