CAL WIRE is California's all-in-one news and live conditions app — real journalism plus the live tools you actually need to navigate the state.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
• Original Reporting — Named staff journalists cover California politics, business, technology, culture, sports, and history with real, bylined features and analysis.
• Statewide Wire Coverage — An automated news desk continuously tracks California outlets and public data feeds to surface breaking headlines the moment they happen, from Sacramento policy fights to San Diego surf breaks.
• Weather Terminal — Live radar, satellite imagery, and a full California city readout with current conditions, 7-day forecasts, humidity, wind, UV index, and air quality — search any California city or town for an instant local reading.
• Traffic & Live Cameras — Real-time traffic conditions and camera feeds across California's major highways and metro areas.
• Scanner — A live feed of California incidents: wildfires, earthquakes, Amber Alerts, CHP traffic incidents, and fire/EMS dispatch coverage, filterable by region (LA, San Diego, Bay Area, Sacramento, Inland Empire/Orange County).
• Surf Report — Daily California surf conditions.
