I started this fundraiser because every second counts when a wildfire starts. As someone who cares about our neighbors and the people who run toward danger to keep us safe, I want to make sure more communities get the fastest, clearest information possible when emergencies strike. Watch Duty’s team of active and retired firefighters, dispatchers, and first responders work around the clock to deliver verified, real-time alerts so families can act sooner and stay safer.

Watch Duty is solving a straightforward but critical problem: underserved areas often lack reliable, timely updates in rapidly changing situations. Their service is not crowdsourced noise. It is powered by trained professionals monitoring scanners, confirming facts, and relaying life saving information as conditions evolve. Those minutes of clarity can mean the difference between a safe evacuation and a dangerous delay.

Your support helps keep this vital service running 24/7, expand coverage to more at-risk communities, and improve the tools and clarity of updates that firefighters, first responders, and residents rely on. Keeping alerts free and accessible ensures that people who need information most can receive it without barriers.

Please join me in supporting Watch Duty. Your donation will help get faster, verified wildfire alerts into the hands of people who need them when it matters most. Give what you can to help more communities stay informed and safe.
