after a week in fire country, i'm a #WatchDuty believer. really cool nonprofit model for coordinating instant alerts from multiple agencies beyond social media bubbles

"Watch Duty is a service, not an app, powered by over 100 volunteers – firefighters, dispatchers, and first responders – who diligently monitor radio scanners and other official sources 24 hours a day to send you the most up-to-date information."

@seachanger it's a great tool, and I am so impressed with the level of detail and speed reported by the volunteers. I just wish there was a standard system that could be implemented across all agencies to automatically report and update this data in real time. Maybe one day...
