For #wildland #fire folks; there are a few significant changes to this year's new Incident Response Pocket Guide (#IRPG): 1) It's Pink! 2) No Haines index or LAL any more! Instead p. 51 has a nice bit on Mixing and mixing height 3) There is an expanded 2 page section on UAS (Unmanned AIrcraft Systems).
FYI the IRPG app has not yet been updated to the new January 2025 version

Film danese che nel plot iniziale ricalca quasi perfettamente l'australiano #AnimalKingdom, a cui, nello svolgimento, non riesce però ad avvicinarsi nemmeno lontanamente.
Guardate quello piuttosto.📝Voto: 5
"Kød & blod" di Jeanette Nordahl, 89minuti, 2020.- Dopo la tragica morte della madre, la diciassettenne Ida va a vivere con la zia Bodil e i suoi tre figli. Da principio il calore familiare e il forte senso di appartenenza le danno sicurezza ma ben presto…- da themoviedb.org

#Wildland #firefighters risk their lives for as little as $15/hour—and now they face up to a $20,000 pay cut unless Congress acts by Dec 20, 2024.. A biology professor (and firefighter’s spouse) breaks down the stakes: #politics #wildfires https://buff.ly/3DiOWdR

One of these #helicopters will soon be able to legally transport #wildland #firefighters; one of them won't. For Vertical Magazine, I wrote about the long and winding path to Section 360 of the FAA Reauth Act, which didn't really turn out the way anyone wanted, except maybe #Sikorsky. #firefighting #aerialfirefighting #aviation #policy https://verticalmag.com/features/u-s-firefighters-will-be-able-to-fly-on-some-but-not-all-restricted-category-helicopters/

Conservation and community groups demand review of phone mast programme
The #Knoydart community are fighting a proposed mast between Beinn na Caillich & Ladhar Bheinn,
“We are asking anyone who shares our concerns to write to the #UK #Government’s Minister for Data and Digital Infrastructure to raise your concerns.”
Proposed location of this mast is profligate #madness

I have even more #respect today for #wildland #firefighters after trying to work outside in #Eugene #Oregon when the smoke from numerous small/medium fires descends on the southern #WillametteValley.
Even with a KN95 mask, breathing in this level of smoke is a chore. I cannot imagine what breathing while fighting the fires must be like.
In this screengrab from https://map.purpleair.com/1/mAQI/a10/p604800/cC0#10.23/44.0259/-123.15 you can see the readings from private sensor stations. Anything over 150 is rough, some are now hitting 300.

So as a has been wildland firefighter dude, I have to admit they did a verry good job telling this story.
I highly recommend checking this out. :3

If only my post about #TimsAct and #Wildland #Firefighter pay (4 boosts, 5 favorites) got as much attention as my post about building a C-R box filter for the #wildfire #smoke (244 boosts, 173 favorites)

If you're experiencing thick, acrid #wildfire #smoke for the first time, imagine what it's like for a #wildland #firefighter to work in those and worse conditions.
Please contact you US representative and tell them to work hard to pass the Tim Hart Wildland Firefighter Classification and Pay Parity Act, H.R. 5631

Each red dot on this map is an uncontrolled #wildland fire in #Canada.
The map has lots of fire related GIS overlays you can turn on/off/restack. For help, open the map and see the 2 links in the upper left corner.

Fantastic work by Lining Yao at #CMU #HCI The development of Biodegradable morphing robots that are "gone to earth" can revolutionize aerial seeding, crucial to cover large and otherwise inaccessible areas, and can facilitate post-fire #reforestation or #wildland restoration.
Lining has been collaborating with CMU Portugal, and she is currently the PI of our Project Exoskins

A new conceptual framework for incorporating the way #plants use #carbon and #water, or plant dynamics, into fine-scale computer models of #wildland #fire provides a critical first step toward improved global fire forecasting.
