My name is Lucas Ramadan, and as an Australian, I've witnessed the devastating impact of wildfires year after year. Having lived in Lake Tahoe, I have seen some of my favorite hiking areas consumed by flames. I do an annual backpacking trip, and one such year we walked to the top of a summit and saw the orange glow over the ridge. A scary experience, especially when you're 10+ miles into a trip.

That's why I'm raising funds for Watch Duty, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing fast, real-time wildfire alerts when seconds matter. Your support will enable 24/7 incident monitoring, clearer updates, and vital tools for firefighters and communities facing emergencies. By expanding coverage to more at-risk regions, we can help ensure that people receive the information they need to act sooner and stay safer.

Together, we can make a significant difference in how communities respond to wildfires. Thank you for considering supporting this vital cause.
