We have made our sound louder.Firewatch is an adventure game developed by Campo Santo and published by the developer in partnership with Panic. Other than that? This will be a really great app for everyone and I thank the developers for creating it. So, my only recommendation for making this app better is giving the user the option to change the alert sounds so that they’re louder. I always have my phone volume turned up to the maximum, especially during fire season, so phone volume isn’t the problem. I actually just got an alert on my phone and the only reason I heard it is because it was right next to me. The only complaint I have is the alerts are not nearly loud enough. It sends alerts when a fire is reported, which is extremely beneficial for those of us (myself very much included) in this area that has a panic attack when the wind picks up, we hear a fire engine, or we smell smoke. This app has the potential to be really fantastic and the go to resource for Sonoma and Napa County residents. ![]() Thank you Watch duty for this app and this service, it is so appreciated, and so well executed. This app is wonderful for peace of mind and information and a must have for anyone living in a WUI in any of the counties served. I’m amazed that this is being provided at no cost to us by a non-profit. It notifies me so that I can know what is happening at my home, and my family members’ homes when I am away or at work. This app puts all of the info that I was hunting down (and more) in one place, quickly and easily accessible. I’ve also found that by raising my awareness of how many fires are handled quickly and without loss of property since the tubbs fire that my anxiety has gone down. I have also spent a lot of time whenever there is a fire trying to find as much information as possible to feel safe. Since then I’ve stayed up all night, evacuated from other fires, and stressed every summer and fall. Excellent coverage that gives peace of mind ![]()
