## What is Wildfire Tracker by FireNearby?

FireNearby watches every official wildfire source around the places you love and gets you the word the moment something changes: push, email, text, and a real phone call when your address is ordered to evacuate.

WHY FIRENEARBY IS DIFFERENT

-It can call you. When officials issue an evacuation or shelter-in-place order for your exact address, FireNearby rings your phone. 

-It can call your family too. Add family members to each place's evacuation circle: when an order hits, their phones ring and get a text the same moment yours does. They don't need the app or an account; they confirm with one tap on a text. 

-Address-matched evacuation zones. We match official evacuation feeds to your saved addresses in every state that publishes one, and alert you the moment your zone changes: warnings, orders, downgrades, and all clear. 

-Minutes after the first 911 call. Dispatch alerts often arrive before a fire has a name or makes the news. 

-Firefighting aircraft detection. When air tankers start circling a spot near you before any official incident is on the books, you'll know.

NINE ALERT TYPES, YOUR RULES Evacuation orders, new named fires, fire crews dispatched, rapid fire growth, red flag warnings, air quality, firefighting aircraft, possible new fires (early signals), and all clear. Protect up to three places: home, the cabin, Mom's house. Each gets its own alert types, radius, delivery channels, and family circle.

THE LIVE MAP Active fires with size, containment, and wind. Fire perimeters. Official evacuation zones. Smoke and air quality. Dispatch reports. Firefighting aircraft. Prescribed burns, early heat detections, and live wildfire cameras. Standard, satellite, and 3D terrain views. Updated continuously from official sources, always timestamped.

TRACK A FIRE ON YOUR LOCK SCREEN Following a fire near a saved place? Pin it to your Lock Screen and watch acres, containment, and evacuation status update live. No unlocking, no refreshing.

BUILT FOR THE MOMENT IT MATTERS

-Quiet hours that never silence an evacuation order 

-Test alerts, a sample call, and a sample text so you know delivery works before you need it 

-Incident timelines: when a fire grew, by how much, and when containment changed 

-Fastest-growing fires at a glance -Wildfire stats and history for every state

Sources include CAL FIRE, NIFC, NWS, InciWeb, state evacuation feeds, air quality networks, dispatch centers, and satellite hotspot detections.
