Our Story

Caught The Fire Bug was started in the summer of 2023 as a wildfire news service dedicated to reporting on fires across the US and beyond. With timely news coverage, photos, and videos shared on Facebook and Instagram, our mission is to tell wildfire stories, spread awareness, and educate the public about the wildfires that threaten our landscapes.

As for the name of our organization? It wasn’t just a catchy phrase—it was a reality. Firefighting wasn’t just a job. It became an obsession, a calling. The fire bug was caught, and now, through CTFB, that same passion fuels a mission to inform, support, and connect the wildfire community.
