Posting old emerging tech content because i don’t hear anyone kicking this not new idea around. Did it get bought & hidden by a corporation or individual(s) like zero point energy and other great ideas that turn out to be threats to existing tech? Seems like the brainy smart folks catching rockets with tweezers et al could help bring this idea to life? But what do i kno… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vycNvJYsc6U

That is just a fancy way of blowing out a fire with air. Only works if the fire is so weak that it is dependent on the flame to continue combustion and not the underlying built up heat. I am 100% sure the effect would be similar to a leaf blower if used on an established fire.

Hey all, I was on a linkedin webinar recently to talk about TAK and we kick it off with Yarnell/GM entrapment. I think it really drives home the message…yes I get teary eyed.

Morning all

Here to share our Pocket RAWS app

Our app directly connects to the NIFC (National Interagency Fire Center) API to pull near real-time data from RAWS stations—currently covering California in the first version (click in map to see all stations) We’re deciding which state to add next.

Pocket RAWS also includes:
• Fire Weather Discussions and Fuels Discussions (currently North and South Ops).
• Push notifications for station thresholds (available with a subscription).

You can download it from the Apple App Store—just search for Pocket RAWS. It’s iOS only.

We’re always looking for feedback, bug reports, and feature requests, so let us know what you think!

I’ve been playing around with your app and it’s really awesome! I’d think any if the western states with RAWS would be greatly appreciated and used in the field.

Thank you for the kind feedback! Yeah, I’m not sure which state to implement next—Oregon, Nevada, or Colorado.

I put in some feedback through the app. Looks good so far.

Yeah that’s going to be a tough call. Hopefully some other folks from those states will chime in. From a CA guy though it’s definitely a tool I will utilize.
