Interesting question. My best guess would be yes, and here's why. When browsing through the list of warnings, watches and statements you can choose to be alerted to, there is a whole section for fire watches, warnings, etc. I can tell you that here in north Texas, we have been experiencing major wild fires over the past month, and NOAH actually issued a "fire warning", which was the first of it's kind in this area as far as we know. Well, there is an option for fire warnings in the list of alerts in this app. I do know the alerts for fire watches and red flag warning days are available as well. When the fire warning was issued a couple of weeks ago, NOAH alerted folks just as they would have if it were a severe weather situation because it called for immediate evacuation of the area.
