Our COO, Nick Russell, joined @ButteSheriff Kory Honea on his podcast to talk about Watch Duty’s operations and how we partner with law enforcement and emergency managers. https://t.co/FIsSHEfOyN

Behind the app is a 300-person operation working around the clock because every second counts when wildfire threatens your community. Sheriff Honea knows better than most the urgency of fast-moving fires, and we’re honored not only to learn from him, but also to call him a friend and partner.

With wet roads in the forecast this week, let’s all be a little extra mindful. Slow down, keep some space between you and the car ahead, and make sure your tires are in good shape. A little extra caution goes a long way in keeping everyone safe. Stay safe out there!
