Firemet

FireMet is a weather system designed to provide fire and rescue service (FRS) responders with the latest weather information to help them identify a safe approach when dealing with a major incident.

The aim is to provide immediate access to forecast conditions, while they are waiting for a more detailed Chemical Meteorology (CHEMET) report. It also provides three hours of hind cast data, as well as three hours of forecast data.

Developed in collaboration with the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) FireMet is a password-protected, web-based system available to all FRS Incident Command Units and mobilising centres, as well as the National Coordination Centre.

For more information about our services for Government, please email us or contact the Customer Centre.
