I never thought a day would come when the sound of sirens and the orange glow on the horizon would become part of my life. I have been impacted by the wildfires, and I know how fast everything can change. When seconds matter, having clear, verified information can mean the difference between reaching safety and being overwhelmed.

That is why I am supporting Watch Duty. Their team of active and retired firefighters, dispatchers, and first responders monitor radio scanners around the clock to deliver real-time, verified alerts. These are not crowd reports. These are life-saving updates from people who know what to listen for and how to interpret it in an emergency.

Funds raised through this campaign help Watch Duty keep alerts free and accessible, expand coverage to more at-risk areas, and support 24/7 incident monitoring with clearer updates as conditions change. Your support helps provide tools and trusted information that firefighters, first responders, and communities rely on when every second counts.

Please join me in supporting Watch Duty. Your donation helps more people act sooner and stay safer when wildfires strike.
