If you are ?? ??????? ???????? ?????? ?? ???in Los Angeles or have loved ones who are, there is an app you can use to track the progress of the multiple dangerous wildfires burning across and around the city.
Watch Duty, which is available via iOS and Android, as well as in a web browser, is a free app with a clean interface that allows users to check on wildfires anywhere, not just in LA. That said, it's particularly helpful for the LA wildfires thanks to the presence of helpful information about the containment level of each fire (sadly, it's sitting around zero percent for most of them at the time of writing) and which areas have been evacuated.

As of Thursday morning, tens of thousands of acres of land have already burned, with more to come as firefighters struggle to contain the flames. Almost 200,000 area residents are under evacuation orders, with at least five confirmed dead, CBS News reports.
