2022 wildfire season: first IMET deployments of 2022

About three weeks before the annual Incident Meteorologis (IMET) continuity of excellence exercise (March 7 to 11, 2022), the first IMET in 2022 was deployed on February 19th. The IMET, from the US National Weather Service Office in Las Vegas was deployed to the Airport Fire near Bishop, California that was contained on or about February 26. 

In the past week, two more IMETs were deployed. One of these deployments, to a wildfire in Ohio,  serves as a reminder that IMETs are a national resource.
