As we saw this past summer, hot, dry, and windy weather conditions are factors that directly affect fire risk and behavior.  Having the ability to compile real-time, location-specific met data is imperative for safe and effective firefighting. Weather monitoring at an incident assists in multiple areas such as risk management, prediction, safety, plume modeling, and reporting. Over the coming weeks, we will highlight weather monitoring in these five areas of emergency response. Make sure to look out for our first post!
