When we say “Watch Duty is built for first responders”, that’s not marketing. That’s our mission and a promise.

Our systems remain 100% operational while sustaining over 20,000 requests per second with over 1MM users per hour. Without the support of @fastly, we would not be able to serve our community during this tragic time. Thank you.

Sorry to burst your bubble but there aren't enough men, women, or equipment to deploy enough water to stop wind driven fires like this. Why don't you take some of that "go to mars" money and actually help rather than Monday morning quarterbacking during a live fire?

“I don’t want to sell this. To who? No one should own this. The fact that I have to do this with my team is not OK. Part of this is out of spite", @johnclarkemills says. “So, no, it’s not for sale. No, I’m not open to change all of a sudden, and I just don’t give a shit.”

We aren't anything other than a non-profit corporation. We have no political beliefs. We believe in life and safety. What we don't believe in however, is yelling on Twitter about "what should have been done" while people are running for their lives. Do better.

When the wildfires hit Hawaii yesterday, it not only took out the Internet but all fire (and police) radios are encrypted leaving a community completely blind, running toward the ocean for their lives. This is cruel and unusual punishment and must be changed @GovJoshGreenMD! Our

Forward progress has NOT been stopped on the #PalisadesFire! The radio traffic this person repeated was from VFIRE-23 which is assigned to Division Charlie of the #EatonFire, according to the SoCal incident comms plan. This type of reporting is straight up dangerous and negligent
