KestrelMet Weather Station
We believe in simple, comprehensive weather stations that are affordable, easy to deploy, and require minimal decision-making.
Product Description
The Kestrel 5500FW Fire Weather Meter Pro
The fast and easy tool for taking weather observations, the Kestrel 5500FW Fire Weather Meter Pro provides NIST-traceable accuracy, reliability, and usability when it matters most. Measure every environmental condition plus PIG and FDFM and view trends with on-screen data graphing. Drop-proof, dust-proof, waterproof, and able to withstand extreme environments without damage, your Kestrel Fire Weather meter can stand up to the abuses of work on a fire line wherever you’re assigned. The Kestrel 5500FW Fire Weather Meter Pro offers a large, high-resolution and contrast display and highly readable numerals. The Kestrel 5500FW also includes a built-in dual color backlight, extra-strong polycarbonate lens and single AA battery operation. In addition to measuring the current environmental conditions, the Kestrel 5500FW tracks and logs over 10,000 sets of time-stamped data, providing a complete history of conditions on the fire from the moment you arrive.
With optional LiNK wireless connectivity, your data log can be transferred to a Kestrel LiNK app (available on Android) for easy export and email to an FBAN or meteorologist. LiNK enabled units come with Kestrel Vane Mount, creating a wireless pop up weather station for accurate readings and tracking trends.
The Kestrel 5500FW Fire Weather Meter Pro Measures:
- Altitude (Barometric), Barometric Pressure, Compass Direction, Crosswind, Density Altitude
- Dew Point Temperature, Fine Dead Fuel Moisture (FDFM), Globe Temperature, Headwind/Tailwind
- Heat Stress Index, Naturally Aspirated Wet Bulb Temperature, Pressure Trend
- Probability of Ignition (PIG), Relative Humidity, Station Pressure (Absolute Pressure)
- Temperature, Wet Bulb Temperature (Psychrometric), Wind Chill, Wind Chill, Wind Speed/Air Speed
Fighting Fires With Knowledge
Wildland Firefighting
Every successful fire management strategy starts with accurate on-site weather observations. Kestrel Fire Weather Meters measure all relevant weather variables needed by Fire Behavior Analysts (FBAN’s), meteorologists, and deployed firefighters to understand how a fire is evolving and how to keep the crew safe. The new PRO line of Kestrel Fire Weather Meters give you the ability to track conditions and view trends right on the unit, as well as send detailed data reports using the free Kestrel LiNK app. The PRO meters also have the National Wildfire Coordinating Group (NWCG) Probability of Ignition (PIG) and Fine Dead Fuel Moisture (FDFM) tables built right in, eliminating the complexity, time and errors involved in employing paper lookup tables. Unlike a traditional belt weather kit, a Kestrel Meter is ready to take all readings instantly, and the PRO meters log temperature, humidity and pressure even when off, giving instant visibility of trends.
HAZMAT & NBC Response
First responders can gather the weather data they need within seconds of arriving at the scene with no tedious setup. A Kestrel 5500FW with LiNK wireless communication and Portable Vane Mount make up a complete Hazmat weather kit capable of measuring all parameters required for Cameoaloha and PEAC plume modeling.
Equip every department vehicle with a Kestrel response kit to enable all personnel to measure and record life-saving data whenever and wherever they deploy.

- Waterproof (up to 3'/1M deep for 30 mins.), High Contrast, Sunlight Readable Monochrome LCD Display

DASHBOARD
I love the tripod Mount which allows real time dash board readings of the environment. Elements and conditions can change rapidly sometimes. Kestrel can’t predict that but at least it’s real-time info on your dashboard while you need it.
