SW App

Know the moment it starts near you.

Most public fire apps wait on official confirmation. That can take around an hour. A fire can burn through a neighborhood in minutes. Swift Warning reads Western dispatch every 45 seconds and pushes a live map to your phone.

Why every second matters

When wildfires start, late information is a real risk. News can lag. Agency maps wait for confirmation. Social posts are noisy. Swift Warning is built for the first signal: a new start from dispatch, on a live map, with an alert for the locations you save.

  1. 01

    Install SW App

    Android and iPhone. V1 is the free fire-alert app. Floods and other hazards are on the public name so the product can grow without another rename.

  2. 02

    Save your places

    Home, work, a ranch, a trailer site. Set a radius. Alerts follow those points, not a national noise feed.

  3. 03

    Get the first ping

    When dispatch hears a new start near you, the goal is that it reaches your phone in under two minutes.

Official sources, polled for speed

The speed edge is WildCAD. The other feeds fill in national and satellite context.
