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 Excellent service. We have our share of fires in the area, but also get smoke from ones far away sometimes. It’s a relief to be able to see which something likely is when a plume is spotted.
