This is the second year I have used Watch Duty. Fires in several western states have threatened family and friends. I can
see exactly what is happening in real time. Gives me knowledge and peace of mind. Great app!

Great Service
Timely, informative, accessible. Important information for a recent fire in our area AND for incidents that my CalFire son is working.
Thank you
Thank you for offering this app for free for everyone. I pray good karma comes to the creators!
Timely Reporting
I really like the rapid and accurate updates Watch Duty provides. Helps me make travel decisions here in the Northwest.
Keeping us updated-
Thank you for the excellent notifications and updates the last few days relating to the Spokane wildfires-we are sending a donation to support your exemplary work!
Absolutely essential
Watch Duty is the primary reliable source for information on the Spokane fires. Everyone I know has depended on it for updates on evacuations and fire status.
Helped during crisis
Showed where the fire had progressed helped friends and family evacuate
Can you add a filter for fire size?
It would be great to have filters similar to what the QuakeFeed app has: fire size, status, distance + list option. Else thank you very much for your app.
Notifications
Great app, but please fix the notifications. On the iPhone I can’t turn on Notifications for fires that are sort of close. There are no options to turn them on.
Detailed overlays with updated info
Just upgraded to premium as a thanks for the great info during the Spokane fires. The state info is critical but so lacking compared to watch duty graphic indications, alerts and updates. Was so grateful for this resource
Deadly Consequences of Failed Notifications
There are regions and specific fires I’ve turned notifications on for but I don’t get a single one. I could miss life saving info. The app for some reason is notifying me about fires outside of my region but not the ones I specifically turn notifications on for. This app is useless in that sense
Great fire notices
Having this app now makes me wonder how I got info before. Current, updated information at your fingertips. Helped tremendously with the spokane fires, even with the free app. Decided to upgrade, $25 a year is worth it and my way of saying thank you.
I guess the volunteers updating this app had to go back to their 9-5…
Apparently the volunteers updating this app had to go back to their jobs because half my city has burned down and none of the three fires around us have been updated for an entire day. For how dynamic fires are, I wish this app was half as reliable as the amount of people using it to keep up on the fires. I would not consider your app very reliable and will be looking for another.

Appreciate this app!
This app is fantastic, it’s my go-to for all fire alerts and updates. Thank you for providing such a great service to the communities who need this information.
Peace of mind
Watch Duty give us people living in the Nation Forest rapid answers and peace of mind. Thank you.
The. Best
Truly, this is the most important and best app for anybody in this country at this time to have. Especially in Southern California, California the work of this App and keeping us abreast of fires is amazing and deserving of membership and other support. I wish to thank you all from the bottom of my heart!

Piece of mind
Great user interface. Gives me peace of mind during fire season.
It was awesome until it wasn’t
Watch Duty is fantastic it was fantastic until today. They decided to get in a pissing match with Stevens County and removed all the evac zones in Stevens County from Watch Duty and now only shows to the Spokane County Line. This isn’t junior high. This is real life and peoples lives and homes on the line but because some idiot posted negative about Watch Duty on a Stevens County Emergency site we are now caught in the cross hairs. If y’all could get over yourselves and do the right thing it would be so very helpful. Get in your pissing match when our homes aren’t about to be destroyed.

Spokane
We’ve had WatchDuty for the last year or so, but since we are currently in Spokane, it’s become clear what a great resource it is. 100% worth supporting via a membership, if you can swing it.
Thank you for the great and actionable information
I can keep track of fire threats both her in LA foothills and up in Washington and Montana where I have family. Thank you for the alerts and great fire and air quality information.
