Watch Duty

The Watch Duty app gives updates as to the spread and/or containment of California Wildfires.

This is not the alarm, warning people to evacuate.

Sixième Son sought to create a sound that was alerting but not alarming.

Alerts people when fire is expanding, changing, or contained.

Because, during a wildfire everyone is actively hoping for rain, we chose to use a water-influenced sound for the app.

As natural disasters have become more frequent The Watch Duty app has grown in popularity and in use for all types of natural disasters.  The alert notification continues to receive high praise from users.

“This sound could never be confused with any other popular app sound, it is that one-of-a-kind. It was memorable, and soothing, and big.
