Watch Duty Expands Nationwide to Deliver Trusted, Real-Time Wildfire Alerts Across the U.S.
December 1, 2025 — Watch Duty announced its expansion from 22 states to nationwide coverage, ensuring that every community now has access to verified, real-time wildfire information when it matters most.
Founded just four years ago serving only a few California counties, Watch Duty has rapidly grown into one of the most trusted voices in public safety. The nonprofit organization is best known for its actionable wildfire alerts, but also provides air quality index, wind direction, and red-flag warnings delivered directly through the Watch Duty app.
Watch Duty Is Now Nationwide
Watch Duty is finally available across all 50 U.S. states!
This means every community in America—every city, every rural town, every place where wildfire is a threat—now has access to trusted, real-time information right when they need it most.
This is one of the biggest steps we’ve ever taken, and it comes at a critical moment. Nearly one in three Americans now lives in an area with significant wildfire risk. Even more are affected by drifting smoke, which contributes to tens of thousands of premature deaths each year. The need for accurate, immediate information has never been greater.
