Best Ever
Since inception they have kept me informed immediately, helping me to make critical decisions. A necessary survival tool after surviving the Calder fire & evacuation!
Well Worth $24.99 a Year!
This is an app worth supporting!
No access to pro
I payed for the pro version and was charged but never was given access. Tech support was not helpful. Do not pay for the additional features!
Amazing App
Using Watch Duty along side Find Me on my Apple Devices, I follow my beloved Grandson as he works on Cal Fire Strike Teams.
I love watching the planes as they work on the fires. Thanks to all of you who made this possible.

Thank you thank you
Watch Duty has empowered us to watch carefully over our own home as well as the homes of our neighbors. Thank you so very much. Thank you for making this free so that everyone can be safer. And thank you of course to all the firefighters who risk their lives for us in these global-warming times! God bless all of you!

Awesome App
My son is an engine boss on a wildland firefighting crew. He said this is the most accurate app to follow. I have had the free version for the last two years to follow the fires he and his crew are fighting. This year I upgraded to the paid version. His crew has been sent all over the western states.

Excellent
Excellent app. Necessary for this time of the world !
Outstanding app
This is by far the best app for wildfire info. There is a lot of useful info, intuitively presented. Glad to support it.
Must have if you live in a wildfire prone area
This app is invaluable if you have in a disaster area. I was so impressed with the real time updates and let us know when evacuations were occurring before we got the alerts on our phone. Upgraded to a membership and will be donating!
no updating is happening without logging in
no alert are being sent without logging into . pointless app for getting text alert updating - they just want to track you
The Best App for All the Info You Need
Background — Recently retired Red Cross, FEMA, state and fed Gov. We never had the ability to see so much info at once on fires — across the country. Hats off to the original inventors of this approach and its stellar growth. Please keep the great work you have going — I will continue to donate to these efforts. Thank you!! Don’t sell out to others who may not have the public’s and environment’s best interest at heart. ❤️❤️❤️

Watch Duty is an app that everyone should have. It keeps us informed of fires in the area or where you subscribe for notifications so you can prepare or just keep updated.
Easy to use
I appreciate apps that deliver a great deal without a steep learning curve for the user.
I love that Watch Duty sends me alerts when there’s a fire in the region, and I value the updates provided by reporters. The info is clear and concise - just the bare bones and no padding. Outstanding!
Another thing I value about this app, especially during this horrifying year of fires in the west and floods in the midwest, I’m able to see whether friends or loved ones are in danger. So far, they are not, and it eases my mind to see that.
Of course, I tell them about Watch Duty, and they’re glad to hear about it.
Great work, folks!

Best Wildfire App there is
This is hands down the best wildfire app that there is. Being in a state with regular wildfires, this helps keep me informed of The Who, what, where, when, and why of fires in my state and others. I highly recommend all download this app to keep up to date.
Super helpful app!
Rely on this app to keep up to date and stay safe!
Informative
Having one more method for communication is always good. Between my recent fires in my area for 2026, which were the Bug fire and the Hawk fire, I was mainly impacted with a Hawk fire.
In this review, I’d like to remind individuals that are reading this that relying on communications, be cautious.
During the Hawk fire power was shut down for obvious reasons which I support. At that point, my iPhone 16 5G through Verizon all communications went dead and those around me with other network providers also went dead. So for a period of we had no reliabile Comms and the phone system did not work.
Rebooted my phone hoping to capture another tower at startup and still nothing.
This has nothing to do with Watch Duty, I would just think a plug should be put out there not just rely on such tools.
Eventually, I believe when they were able to adjust repeaters or whatever was required communication was restored and then all the updates played catch-up.
Thankfully, for all that give the effort to support others.
