About TowerWatch
TowerWatch is the community and forum layer of Wildfire-Ready: a calm, expert-moderated, public-interest space where Canadians talk about wildfires, weather, and emergencies year-round — free, ad-free, in English and French.
Verified before viral
When the stakes are real, speed loses to accuracy. Guardians — vetted fire, EMS, dispatch, weather, and emergency-management professionals — label what's verified, what's unconfirmed, and what's second-hand. The label is the product.
Year-round, not just fire season
Wildfires don't exist in isolation. Smoke, drought, winter blizzards, ice storms, road closures, air quality, evacuations — they share the same exposed communities and the same people watching the sky. TowerWatch is built for all of it.
A companion, never a replacement
Call 911 in an emergency. Follow official orders from BC Wildfire Service, Alberta Wildfire, EmergencyInfoBC, AB Emergency, Alert Ready, and your local authorities. TowerWatch helps you understand what they're telling you and talk it through with people who know what they're looking at. It is not, and will never be, an alternative.
Built by Wildfire-Ready. Public-interest infrastructure. Free forever, ad-free, bilingual.
