Watch for property-management firms
When someone asks when you knew, you have the record.
A wildfire near a property you manage turns into questions from owners and boards, sometimes months later: what did you know, and when? Watch checks every managed address against the federal wildfire incident feed every 15 minutes — and every check, match, and alert is logged with timestamps.

The record
Every alert Watch sends is logged: the fire’s name, its reported size, the measured distance to the place, the rule that made it a watch or a threat, the channel, and the time it was dispatched. The log exports as CSV, and each entry keeps the message exactly as it was sent.
On Pro and Portfolio, any fire in your log produces an incident timeline report: a print-styled document (print it or save as PDF from the browser) showing when the incident first appeared in the feed archive, every archived 15-minute check that saw it, each mapped-perimeter capture, and every notification sent to your account — recipients, channels, and timestamps — with a document id, a generated-at stamp, and the cadence and limits printed on it.
It records what our system saw and when we notified you — measured numbers with timestamps, nothing invented. When an owner, a board, or an insurer asks when you knew, you answer with the record.
How it works
-
1
Paste your addresses
One per line, or a CSV. We geocode each one and show you what we found before it goes live.
-
2
We check the federal feed
Every 15 minutes, each address is compared with the NIFC WFIGS incident list and its mapped perimeters, plus NASA FIRMS satellite heat matched to those incidents. What is not reported to that feed, we cannot see — sources, rules and limits.
-
3
You get an email you can act on
It names the fire, its reported size, the measured distance, the rule that made it a watch or a threat, and the official incident source. The app shows when each place was last checked.

Data and limits
Data: NIFC WFIGS incident locations and perimeters, NASA FIRMS satellite heat matched to those incidents, refreshed every 15 minutes. Watch reports what that feed lists; it cannot see a fire that has not been reported to it, and mapped perimeters can lag the ground by hours. Status (watch / threat) is a rule on each listed fire’s size and measured distance, shown in full in the app and on the trust page. Watch supplements — never replaces — official emergency alerts. Awareness only; always follow local authorities.
If you got a link from us
We sometimes prepare a real Watch account for a business we would like to show it to — your addresses, or a clearly labelled sample list — and email the link. Nothing is charged and nothing else is emailed until you open it; one reply stops any further mail. How Watch works, what it cannot see, and who runs it.
Watch is also used by: Vacation-rental managers · HOAs & community managers · Insurance agencies — or see everything Watch does.
