CA Fire Scanner

@CoalitionTechYT @joaquinlife It's a 6th alarm warehouse fire in the 4800 block of Hellman Ave in Ontario.

@joaquinlife I posted about it too but same, can't find any info really and watch duty isn't popping off

Absolutely wild that I cannot find anything on Twitter or any news concerning this major fire by Chino Airport near Ontario.

“When a wildfire breaks out, every second counts.” Watch Cofounder & CEO @johnclarkemills's powerful @TEDTalks talk on the life-or-death gaps in emergency alerts – and how Watch Duty is challenging the status quo.

When you're faced with an emergency like a wildfire, where do you turn for information? As of today, everyone across 50 U.S. states can now rely on Watch Duty: Simple, clear, actionable alerts backed by a powerhouse team that combines cutting-edge technology with nonstop human monitoring.

Fire doesn't care about regular schedules. So we at @watchdutyapp are looking for contributors who can work overnight shifts. Want to keep your community updated while many folks are sleeping? Learn more and apply here: watchduty.org/careers?gh_jid…

@BobMcBob Thank you - Cole got it & reactivated.

@CAFireScanner looks like Fire 2-3 in Copperopolis California has flared up again. Sending a local dispatch ad the fire is burning down the hill towards O’Byrnes Ferry Road. Can you update Firewatch please, I’m a local.

@NightshiftWorkr Happy New Year my friend!

Happy New Year 🥳 @CAFireScanner

📈 Did you know… this year compared to last, we reached 7.2 million active users (3.7x ⬆️), served 1/2 billion pageviews (4.4x ⬆️), raised $5.6 million (4.6x ⬆️), and hit #1 in the App Store nationwide in September? Read more in our annual report (watchduty.org/annual-report) where we go above and beyond our non-profit tax reporting obligations, from our budget to our page view analytics. We will be practicing even more radical transparency from here on out so you can see and understand exactly how we do, what we do, and where your donations go.  We’ll also let you in on some of the other features we have coming and reveal why we’re called "Watch Duty". With that, we’ll leave you with one final ask for the year – if you have found Watch Duty to be helpful to you, your family, or your community, please consider donating or becoming a member. Every dollar helps provide critical wildfire information to nearly three people, costing only $0.34 per person (read more in our annual report).  This means that every $25 yearly membership provides free access for 75 people in your community! Please visit watchduty.org/donate.

Particularly Dangerous Situation Red Flag Warning conditions late Monday into Tuesday for the Santa Ana wind corridor of Los Angeles and Ventura Counties. This event has the potential to be as strong as the November 5th-6th Santa Ana event that led to the Mountain Fire.

@skiswm Happy Thanksgiving! 2nd year in a row.. I think last year it was San Diego.

He may be a Kiwi, but we claim him as unofficial Californian so happy Thanksgiving to @CAFireScanner who is working tonight covering a fire on @watchdutyapp.

A significant fire weather event will unfold Thu-Sat across portions of CA. This is a classic autumn setup, w/"inside slider" low pressure system generating strong, gusty, & dry northerly wind. Temps will not be warm, but vegetation remains very dry following record heat. #CAfire

@Excelsiorguy38 Never left - just all my stuff goes straight into Watch Duty right now, including other states so its a lot to do.

@CAFireScanner CA fire scanner is back, great to see you posting again!!!

The #ParkFire in Butte County + Tehama County was mapped at ~45,549 acres around 3am this morning. The fire has crossed over Deer Creek to the north by about 135 acres at time of that mapping. All updates, evacs for both counties > share.watchduty.org/i/27638

@kentphotos Wild IC in LNU last week too.

Not making light of fires this year, but two, the Bogus and the Dinosaur Fires, probably take the name prize this summer. Unfortunately, the year is young.

#PayFire Update (8:00): The fire is at 77 acres and 0% contained. Per @ElDoradoSheriff, the evacuation orders and warnings have been updated. See perimetermap.com for information.

@925mlbfan right across the damn street from the last one

Antioch: another vegetation fire for Confire, near James Donlon Blvd and Pintail Drive. About 2 acres in size. Dozer and first alarm resources responding.

@Kristen48735314 Going to need a bigger writing forum - I'll send a DM in the.. my morning - just heading to bed now!

@CAFireScanner I'll track examples going forward. What would help is if you could share the guidelines of what / when WD posts ... and when you don't. I can post on local and county wide social media sites.

@CAFireScanner Hi! As we enter into our peak fire season... I'm wondering if you'll be monitoring / posting? Others are good. You're great. Miss you! Am in Grass Valley CA.

@Kristen48735314 Give me some examples if you can so I can look into them if possible. Not everything makes it to WD if its false alarms, out by locals etc.

@CAFireScanner The delay is worrisome because since WD launched we have heavily promoted it. In wide usage now (good) but often see posts "it's not on WD" (bad cuz they then don't believe there's a fire). People are linear.

#FKULightningComplex Eastern Fresno County has experienced over 1000 lightning strikes in the past 3 hours. Here are the fires that we are currently working in the area: Strike Fire-Tollhouse Rd & Pittman Hill, 20x20 spot, fire contained. Flash Fire-Kings Canyon & Cove Rd, 170 acres, 0% contained. Muscat Fire-Crawford & Muscat, 140 acres, 80% contained. MAL Fire-Malvern & Shaw, 1 acre, fire contained. Bolt Fire-Palomino & Elwood Rd, Wonder Valley area, 120 acres, 0% contained.

@bbdd333 Good morning! Gee, it's been really going for a couple weeks now.
