We aim to keep you informed and safe with real-time updates and alerts. Wildfire Tracking Features: - Push notifications about nearby wildfires and firefighting efforts - Real-time updates as conditions change - Active fire perimeters and progress - Infrared satellite hotspots 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 - Save locations for quick access on the map Watch Duty is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

    The app is regularly updated, not clogged with ads, gives great live info on fires, shelters, evacuations, etc., and is SUPER easy to use and understand. One of the best apps in the store.

    During this dry year grass fires & forest fires have impacted Wyoming in unpredictable ways. Watch Duty lets you know where the fires are, and which direction the wind is blowing there. Peace of mind is worth a lot. Early warnings are worth even more.

    This service is the only reliable way for my family to know exactly what evacuation status we are under in real time. Specific details of fire suppression and growth activity allows us to make informed decisions that protect our lives and give us a chance to function during an emergency situation.

    This app has been very useful in times when I wouldn’t have batted another eye. It has notified my wife and I of unknown dangers very close to us and alerted us when needed. Thank you again for the help.
