As wildfire season continues in many areas of the United States, National Weather Service Incident Meteorologists (IMETs) continue to be deployed to wildfires, most are deployed for two weeks. Since I last wrote about IMET deployments on April 25th there have been three IMETs deployed to wildfires. All were deployed on May 3rd. Acreage burned, if indicated is as of the date I am writing this (May 5, 2022). Links to NWS office are to their Twitter accounts. Links to information about the three fires are from Inciweb
- IMET from the NWS Western Region deployed to the Crooks Fire (9,402 acres) near Prescott, Arizona.
- IMET from NWS Las Vegas Nevada deployed to the Cerro Pelado Fire (29,318 acres) near Jemez Springs, New Mexico.
- IMET from NWS El Paso Texas deployed to the Bear Trap Fire (2,309 acres) in the Cibola National Forest in New Mexico
IMETs save lives.
