John Clarke Mills, the founder of the Watch Duty app never planned to be a climate warrior. He just wanted to know what was happening one morning when he saw helicopters over his ranch in Sonoma, California but couldn't find anything on the news or internet about a wildfire.
Now Mills leads a team of two dozen staff and some 250 volunteers who tap into a host of firefighting communications and weather data in the American West to report on wildfires from the moment they break to the moment they are contained, saving countless lives with vital information when they need it most.
