The Wildfire Alert database has been updated with location information on a new or existing fire, which is within the notification radius for the property location that you have entered into the Wildfire Alert system. The Wildfire Alert database receives location information from several sources: A national USGS database, which is queried every four hours by the Wildfire Alert system, other fire information sources that are queried from time to time, Input from local participating fire departments by way of the Wildfire Alert website or mobile apps, Input from members by way of the Wildfire Alert website or mobile apps.

Please contact your local emergency response agencies or the American Red Cross for details on local fires and what steps you need to be taking if you believe a fire is endangering your property.
The Wildfire Alert service measures the distance from the members identified property location to the latitude and longitude of the fire location as entered into the Wildfire Alert database. This information is used to identify fires within the property location notification radius that you have entered into the Wildfire Alert system. We are encouraging you to keep a close watch on the progress of these active fires as they can change direction and speed very quickly.
We are not responsible for damage or destruction to property, or injury or death to animals or people as the result of your actions or inaction in regard to the information that you may receive from the Wildfire Alert system regarding any fire in your area at any time.
We make no warranties or representations about the effectiveness of the data that we transmit, via our website or mobile apps. Please take all prudent and necessary measures to keep yourself fully informed and in communication with all emergency response agencies in your area in order to have as much advanced notice as possible in the event that you need to take any actions whatsoever.

The Wildfire Alert database receives location information from several sources: A national USGS database, which is queried every four hours by the Wildfire Alert system, other fire information sources that are queried from time to time, Input from local participating fire departments by way of the Wildfire Alert website or mobile apps, Input from members by way of the Wildfire Alert website or mobile apps.

Please contact your local emergency response agencies or the American Red Cross for details on local fires and what steps you need to be taking if you believe a fire is endangering your property.
The Wildfire Alert service measures the distance from the members identified property location to the latitude and longitude of the fire location as entered into the Wildfire Alert database. This information is used to identify fires within the property location notification radius that you have entered into the Wildfire Alert system. We are encouraging you to keep a close watch on the progress of these active fires as they can change direction and speed very quickly.
We are not responsible for damage or destruction to property, or injury or death to animals or people as the result of your actions or inaction in regard to the information that you may receive from the Wildfire Alert system regarding any fire in your area at any time.
We make no warranties or representations about the effectiveness of the data that we transmit, via our website or mobile apps.
