Why West Virginia homeowners turn on FireRisk alerts
West Virginia's wildfires peak in the fall fire season, when dry leaf litter on the steep Appalachian slopes and hollows carries flame; the mountainous terrain makes access and control difficult.

West Virginia fire alerts — FAQ
How do I sign up for fire alerts in West Virginia?
Enter your West Virginia 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 West Virginia 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 West Virginia address rather than a whole county.
How is this different from West Virginia'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 West Virginia 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 — West Virginia's official warning system, local fire authorities, Watch Duty, and 911. Please register for your local emergency alerts too.
