"There's nowhere else that information exists in near-real-time besides radio traffic," says Nick Russell, vice president of operations at Watch Duty. "We've assembled a team of retired and active firefighters, dispatchers, first responders, as well as radio enthusiasts who have been doing this for many years." This collaboration ensures that crucial information about fire incidents is consolidated into a single platform, allowing communities to understand their safety without the chaos of fragmented updates.
The app shares maps of fires, with the option to turn on a wind layer that shows where the fire is likely to move. It also details evacuation zones and shelter locations. This wealth of information aims to empower residents with real-time data, helping them make informed decisions on their safety during emergencies.
