My roommates and I live on a busy street near a fire station and are always curious to know what’s happening when fire trucks, ambulances, helicopters, and cops are rushing quickly by. This app helps us figure it out in a moments notice. Really nice getting urgent news notifications, too! I've been notified of major incidents such as a destructive landslide near my house during a storm, a full house fire (which I read the next day was a celebrities house in Beverly Hills 😳), and an explosion in mid city. Every major incident notification from this app has been top news story in the city next day. I highly recommend to anyone interested in being aware, especially if you live in a big city. Definitely providing peace of mind in this house!
Amazing app

My family and I have been using this app as a tool. With all the local fires in Southern California that’s been going through are cities has been nerve wrecking so we track all the resources we have and use them as a way to determine if we should evacuate a lot sooner rather then wait for authorities to tell us. We have family throughout California so this app keeps us informed of what’s going on around us and plus We sleep better at night :)
Excellent App

LAIT911 provides a great service for first responders, media, community members, and members of government who wish to remain informed without listening to a radio scanner all day or waiting to see reports in the media. This can give you a vital heads-up if you live near a large scale incident or wildfire that may threaten your home or business. As a first responder, I can say that the app and service work as well (if not better) than “professional” public safety apps.
Fast, reliable, and actually helpful when it matters

I’ve had a great experience using LAIT911. The app is simple and easy to navigate, which is really important in urgent situations when you don’t have time to figure things out. Everything loads quickly, and the interface is clear and straightforward.
Bug/crash fixes.
