Alto cumulus clouds indicate upper atmosphere instability & weather changes, such as moisture & thunderstorms. Firefighters should watch for cloud changes to indicate erratic & gusty winds that shift fire activity & increase fire intensity.

During hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged in ways you may not expect. Stay #WeatherReady by learning the symptoms of excessive heat exposure and the appropriate responses.

Atmospheric stability is the tendency for upward/ downward motion of air. Indicators include: billowing cumulus clouds & virga. Strong vertical motion is a concern for firefighters bc it can mean sudden, erratic, gusty winds w/ serious consequences on the fireline.

The Black Fire is now 292,770 acres and 49% contained. By the looks of it this fire will grow larger than the Calf Canyon in the coming week. Photo sent in by one of our Substack subscribers. #nmwx #newmexico #blackfire #wildfire #weather #fire #hotshots #firefighters

Awareness of the current fire environment, as well as potential changes, increases fireline safety. This week, we will focus on #weather, specifically #clouds, which are a valuable tool to predict current atmosphere state & potential weather changes.

Accurate situation awareness requires a constant reassessment of conditions that may impact the safety and effectiveness of tactics. Monitor for the #18WatchOutSituations and establish trigger points ahead of time.

[National Wildfire Coordinating Group @NWCG]

As part of risk management, especially during high activity fires, each #firefighter should be asking questions about every mission.
🛩️Flight necessary?
🚁Hazards identified?
🛩️Flight stopped due to a change in conditions?
🚁Is there a better way?

#DoYouKnow how a fire #PreparednessLevel (PL) is determined? PLs are dictated by fuel & weather conditions, fire activity, & fire suppression resource availability throughout the country. The five PLs range from the lowest (1) to the highest (5). The SW is currently at PL5.

On #MemorialDay, we honor those who have fallen in the service of our nation. Across the country, memorials, cemeteries, and battlefields help remind us of the extraordinary sacrifices made to keep us united and free. All gave some, some gave all. Photo by Austin Catlin, BLM

#Firefighters must never rely on fire shelters. Instead, they depend on escape routes and safety zones. However, if the need for shelter deployment should arise, it is imperative that #firefighters know how to deploy a fire shelter.

Here is a digital fire progression sequence for the Calf Canyon, Hermits Peak, and Cooks Peak fires. A very interesting representation of the fire’s movement over the last month.

A primary objective of every operational fire plan is to keep #firefighters out of entrapment situations. However, #firefighters must always be prepared to escape quickly to a safety zone or deployment area. #LCES
