Your phone rings when it's time to go
The moment an evacuation order covers your address, you get an alert. With Pro, Fire Nearby calls and texts you, even on silent.
Everything you need when fire is close
Evacuation orders, matched to you
Live zones from official feeds, matched to your exact address, not a county-wide guess.
Minutes after the first 911 call
Dispatch, aircraft, and satellite signals often surface a new fire before any headline.

Active fires, perimeters, smoke, air quality, firefighting aircraft, and evacuation zones.

Questions
Is the Fire Nearby app free?
Yes. The app is a free download and the live map, address risk reports, Lock Screen tracking, and a push alert when an evacuation order covers your place are free for everyone. Fire Nearby Pro adds phone calls and texts, every alert type, up to three places, and a household circle.
How does the evacuation phone call work?
Fire Nearby watches official evacuation zone feeds for the addresses you save. With Fire Nearby Pro, when an order covers one of them, the app's alert line calls and texts your phone. Saving the number as a contact and turning on Emergency Bypass lets the call ring even when your phone is on silent; the app walks you through it.
Where does the fire data come from?
Official sources only: national and state incident feeds, county evacuation zones, the National Weather Service, NOAA satellites, and AirNow air quality monitors. Every data point is timestamped.
Is there an Android app?
Not yet. Fire Nearby is available for iPhone. On any other device, the full live map is free at firenearby.com.
Can my family get alerts without the app?
Yes. With Pro, you can add family members to your household circle. They get the evacuation calls and texts on their own phones without installing anything.
