Why District of Columbia homeowners turn on FireRisk alerts
Washington, D.C. has minimal wildfire risk of its own, but sits downwind of regional and Canadian wildfire smoke that has repeatedly pushed the capital's air quality into unhealthy ranges during recent summers.

District of Columbia fire alerts — FAQ
How do I sign up for fire alerts in District of Columbia?
Enter your District of Columbia address or ZIP on this page and add your email — that's it. We immediately begin watching official NIFC and NWS feeds for new wildfires and Red Flag Warnings near that location and email you when something relevant happens. It's free and you can unsubscribe anytime.

What triggers a District of Columbia fire alert?
A new wildfire reported near your home, a fire that's growing or getting closer, and an NWS Red Flag Warning (fire-weather) for your area — the early signals that risk is rising, tied to your specific District of Columbia address rather than a whole county.
How is this different from District of Columbia's official alerts or Watch Duty?
Keep those — your county issues the official evacuation orders and Watch Duty is unbeatable for live reporting once a fire is burning. FireRisk fills the gap before that: an early, property-specific heads-up tied to your District of Columbia home's wildfire risk, fusing new ignitions, fire weather, growth, and air quality into one signal.
FireRisk.ai alerts help you catch new fires and fire-weather risk early. They complement — never replace — District of Columbia's official warning system, local fire authorities, Watch Duty, and 911. Please register for your local emergency alerts too.
