#FireTwitter is how I was virtually intro'd to Ben (@ai6yr) and so many others that many of whom staff Watch Duty. Glad that app came about! Hear more from John Mills: https://www.ted.com/talks/john_mills_how_we_built_watch_duty_the_lifesaving_wildfire_alert_app

yes, I miss #fireTwitter

Lots of folks are on mastodon but it's not the same, maybe in part because the *agencies* aren't here 🤷‍♀️

@ai6yr yes, I saw him on a fire earlier - sometimes I do miss #firetwitter

@ai6yr I created my account Nov 20, 2022. I generally only lurk or peek in now and then most of the time, but I also miss my #FireTwitter #EMGTwitter & Tweep refugees that are here now.

@ai6yr All I can say.... praise be that all the former #FireTwitter folks I used to follow there for a decade are either founders or reporters for #WatchDuty!

@camless
they do, but that's for the people actually working the fire.

I miss #fireTwitter and people getting excited because air attack just flew over their house on the way to refuel.

In no way pertinent to the actual fire.

in all honesty, I miss the bird site during fire season

#FireTwitter was pretty great

#FireTooter just isn't the same

I just don't feel like I'm doing enough working in education. I feel like I'm fiddling while Rome burns.
lol wait, does #FireTwitter count as a volunteer activity?

Twitter is 'potentially dying.' What does that mean for California's disaster response?

Twitter rate limits impacts California disaster emergency response

Twitter’s rate limits, embedded posts and TweetDeck problems are causing issues for scientists and emergency responders as California’s fire season approaches.
