Just received a DC Alert text message and email referencing that. The reason indicates Fire Department activity. So perhaps a fire somewhere?

Oh that sounds useful, is it this alert system or is there another one too? I'll sign up

Thank you for the link!! San Francisco uses the Nixle Alerts and I signed up for some DC stuff through them (mainly just parks and rec updates) almost 2 years ago and thought it was stupid that they didn't fully utilize that type of system. I'm signing up for this one now.

Um, actually how do I add a subscription? Like what do I add? It doesn't find anything with zip code entered in the search. 😅🤔

Updating that I registered on the website as it didn't let me in app. Realized that it actually is Nixle. I then managed to link my phone number to the app and my San Francisco subscriptions showed up, but none of the ones that I just subscribed to for DC on the website did. It doesn't let me login in the app. Help? The FAQ doesn't tell me how to login. 🙃

As well as other emergencies. You’ll also see them on scene for medical emergencies and other non-fire related things.

I’m always too late to catch this site before the fire gets put out. What’s it look like during an active fire?
