Phoenix Alerts
Real-time fire, EMS, traffic and weather alerts for the Phoenix metro, in one app for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV.
Phoenix Alerts watches the fire department's live dispatch feed, freeway incidents and weather warnings, and tells you when something happens near you or the places you care about. You can set quiet hours, and urgent alerts can break through them.
Every Apple device gets something suited to it: widgets and a Live Activity on iPhone, complications on Apple Watch, a menu bar view on the Mac, and a wall of ADOT traffic cameras on Apple TV. The map supports Look Around, and Siri and Shortcuts work throughout.
It started as FireAlert, a small desktop prototype, and grew into a full multiplatform app.
