Free membership—available now

Normally, a Free account lets you save one location for quick manual checking. If Personal Web access expires, saved locations beyond the Free allowance are retained but inactive rather than deleted.

Personal Web launch offer

Create your account by 30 September 2026 and enjoy Personal Web FREE until 31 March 2027.

Save and automatically monitor up to three locations, receive Wildfire Watch and Warning alerts by email, keep your alert history and use the complete website feature set.

No payment is taken. No card details are needed.

This is free promotional access, not a subscription trial. When the offer ends, your membership returns to Free unless you actively choose to purchase Personal Web.

Personal Mobile—coming soon

Personal Mobile will be a fully featured Wildfire Watch app for Android and Apple devices. It will include everything in Personal Web: three shared saved locations, full Wildfire Watch and Warning alerting by email, the complete mobile feature set, and push notifications for alerts. Depending on demand, we may also offer SMS alerts for times when mobile data isn't available.

We're aiming to keep it under £15 a year, with a 7-day free trial. You'll only start paying after you agree to the annual subscription through the app store.

You can't buy the mobile subscription or start a trial just yet, but it's coming very soon. We'll confirm the price and launch details before it goes live.

One account across website and app

Saved locations and membership belong to the account rather than a particular device. A location saved on the website will count towards the same allowance in the future phone app. Personal Mobile will include Personal Web access at no additional charge.

Public incident information and official safety advice will remain available without payment if a subscription expires or is cancelled.

Safety and terms summary

Wildfire Watch is supplementary information, not an emergency service or a safety guarantee. Reports, satellite detections, weather information and alerts may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate or unavailable. Never rely on this service to protect life or property; in immediate danger call 999 and follow official advice.

Use the service lawfully, keep account details secure and check the price, renewal and cancellation information shown before any future paid purchase.
