Watch Duty: Wildfire Maps

I love the real time updates and notices on wildfires. Living in fire country, we check this apps many times per day. Much more timely than government sites.

I live in a fire prone area. I live in the same county where an entire town burned down a few years ago so we’re all a little edgy when we see fire or smoke. Earlier this year I was evacuated and the fire season hadn’t even really gotten started. I live in the county of the Park fire which is the fourth largest in California history. I would get continual updates every time there was a change reassuring. It was a little scary when my phone beeped about every 10 minutes, but at the same time we had three other fires in my area so it was pretty busy. I strongly recommend that you pay the $25 to get updates. That’s two dollars a month for peace of mind. I do live in a Fire area so for my County I have every single update pushed to me. The two other counties that are adjacent to us that also tend to share their fires with us I get an update when there is a new fire. I also have my son’s County let me know when there is a new Fire since he’s also been burned out once. I can’t recommend it highly enough. And that’s before they start adding camera views. Before I learned about the ability see which aircraft have been deployed, and before I figured out how to find out what the hotspots were and and that I could see the wind direction. If you live in a fire area and you do not at least download the free copy, you have no excuse when you’re caught unaware.

Very accurate and timely information given. Grateful for the service provided by this group and thank you for your efforts to help keep people and their animals safe.

This is an excellent fire app. It gives great information concerning fires and evacuations also gives follow up information. And most importantly is timely.

Keeping my family, dogs, cats, and horses safe! Thank you!

This app is so helpful, especially when you are anxious about fire progress. All the information is right there with links to maps and any evacuation orders.

The app is good for showing you a fire in the area, but the reports are questionable because they are being written by “reporters” who are nowhere near the incident. In one case, the “reporter” posted information that the fire was burning in a particular location when in fact that area was not affected. Trust your local paper’s website more than this app. At least the paper has people on the ground.

This app gives us such great information. We live in a very hazardous fire area!

I have used this app for a year now and it has been so helpful. I feel much safer, knowing I’ll be notified if there is a fire near me like recently with the Silver fire. We were able to plan on evacuating much sooner than who knows when? Fortunately we didn’t have to evacuate. I’ve read about the people who run this operation and they’re very high-level people and I understand some are retired firefighters and have in-depth knowledge of fires. I would hate to do without it.
