Wildfire originated as a campus safety alert application developed during our final year at UC Berkeley. Initially designed to provide safety notifications for college campuses, Wildfire evolved into a broader social news platform. This transformation enabled users to rapidly disseminate information of importance to their local communities. Over a six-year period, Wildfire successfully delivered 65 million alerts to a user base of nearly 1 million individuals, establishing itself as a significant player in local news dissemination.
