I check the NWS Incident Meteorologist Facebook page every day or so to see where IMETs are deployed and to get other news about IMETs. I am always interested in stories about what IMETs do so when I saw a reference to a September 2022 NOAA Photostory on what Incident Meteorologists (IMETs) do, I knew that I wanted to share the story with you. It is well worth checking out this photostory. You will see a couple of YouTube videos about IMETs in the photostory, one on protective gear and the second on using balloons for upper air weather observations. The photostory is divided into sections, each with a picture, you will learn about:
- Goal: keep firefighters safe
- Long days and nights (16 hour days
- Wildfire i
- Gearing up (protective gear)
- Clearing a path
- Communications is key
- Wildfires blaze across the West (late summer 2022)
- Wildfire impacts go beyond acres burned
- A team effort
- Eyes on the sky for firefighters on the ground
- Going forward
