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
Repost from #NWCG FB page. Good refresher on a sizeup:
