We're thrilled to be named @FastCompany's #1 most innovative non-profit of 2025! It's truly an honor to serve our community every day and to reimagine what a charity can look like. fastcompany.com/91269873/not…

Our prescribed fire data is now publicly available outside of Watch Duty through @Esri's ArcGIS Online, providing valuable information to the public, fire services, and the research community.... watchduty.maps.arcgis.com/ho… By making this data openly accessible, we hope to support efforts to normalize prescribed fire as a critical tool for land management and wildfire prevention. This initiative will also help reduce false alarms and unnecessary dispatches, allowing emergency services to focus on real threats. Additionally, researchers and scientists can now use this data for a wide range of applications, from improving air quality models to training AI for wildfire detection and enhancing fire behavior predictions. This is an important lead forward in improving wildfire awareness, response, and prevention. Explore the dataset and see how it can support a safer, more informed future: watchduty.maps.arcgis.com/ho…

R.I.P. to Officer Michael Horan, a husband and a father.

6.28.25. 3;30 pm I'm watching the Cedardale fire from 10 miles away at the Union Cemetery on Hwy 412. . Fire trucks, graters, strick teams, all headed that way. Greg is buried at the Cedardale Cemetery. When it hits the cedars and its crowns, I can see the flames from here.#okwx

#BREAKING: Watch Duty has emergency deployed in Texas ahead of schedule due to the horrific wind-driven fires in the #Texas Panhandle. We can’t sit idly by and watch another town overrun by wildfire without giving communities life-saving information needed to make informed decisions. Be safe! #txwx #txfire #GrapevineCreekFire share.watchduty.org/i/16561 #SmokehouseCreekFire share.watchduty.org/i/16557 #WindyDeuceFire share.watchduty.org/i/16560

Best thing I've seen on the internet 🤣😂😹😻 #Caturday #CatsOfTwitter #WeWillRockYou

Keep in mind that "official" accounts have to go with "official" updates, which are infrequent & irrelevant. This fire is way past 300 acres, but govt can't give good info. If you want accurate/relevant info, pay attention to @watchdutyapp based on real time radio traffic.

When the wildfires hit Hawaii yesterday, it not only took out the Internet but all fire (and police) radios are encrypted leaving a community completely blind, running toward the ocean for their lives. This is cruel and unusual punishment and must be changed @GovJoshGreenMD! Our thoughts are with the #Hawaiians at this extremely difficult time.

We are getting more & more away from the use of Twitter as a whole, a lot of it thanks to the engineering team who build us tools as we ask. Our Echo system is probably our best feature. Our main Twitter use these days is embedding officials tweets into the app.

Bill Clayton & John Hawkins are firefighter #legends in #CA w/ 37 & 53 years of service, respectively. They’ve mentored & fought fires alongside many firefighters. A #CALFIREClassic image from 2002 captured them working together during the Pines Fire/San Diego County. @CALFIRERRU
