Watch Duty, a wildfire tracking app, has surged to the top of Apple’s App Store as wildfires wreak havoc in Southern California. Surpassing the ChatGPT app, it provides real-time updates from firefighters and government reports. With over 70,000 residents facing evacuation, the app alerts users about nearby fires and evacuation warnings. The Palisades and Eaton fires have destroyed over 1,000 structures, claiming at least two lives. CEO Ryan Peterson encourages residents to download the app for crucial updates. Watch Duty emphasizes it is not a substitute for official information.
