WHAT FIREWATCH CHECKS
A focused report, without the empty dashboard
Each source is checked separately after you choose a location. Until then, FireWatch shows no zeros, safety conclusions or placeholder results.
Official alerts
NWS alerts and available evacuation resources.
Air quality
Current AQI and smoke-related health guidance.
Satellite heat
Preliminary NASA FIRMS thermal detections.
Location-specific source checks
FireWatch checks multiple official feeds for a chosen location and states what was—and was not—returned.
Human-reviewed incident reporting
Watch Duty uses trained reporters monitoring radio traffic and official sources. FireWatch links to it but does not republish its reports.
