We have an exciting announcement! Yesterday, March 10, we enabled "within app" notifications in Wildfires Near Me! If you don't know about this app click here: WFNM Story

This means that if you have added places to your My Places list or are monitoring fires in your My Fires list you will now see notifications after you log into the app. We are very excited to be taking this step towards a fully functioning beta app for this coming fire season and hope you find this update useful!

To view notifications you can click on the Alerts button at the left and you will see them when the slide out panel appears. Alternatively, you can click the "bell" icon at the top right and use the shortcut menu to view your notifications.

In the future we will be enabling the email and text message notifications but we wanted to get these within app notifications turned on now and give you a chance to start seeing how things will work.
