"Top-Rated Free App for Wildfire Updates"

Watch Duty, a free app developed by John Mills, has become a trusted source for wildfire information, combining official data with insights from volunteers, including retired firefighters. Launched in 2021, the app provides real-time updates on wildfires, air quality, and evacuation orders, and has gained over a million users. While experts praise its utility, they caution it should complement, not replace, official sources. Mills aims to expand the app to cover other natural disasters.
