The Kestrel 3550FW is a compact, rugged fire weather meter for wildfire monitoring and field weather observation. Measures wind, temperature, humidity, and pressure with Bluetooth wireless logging capability.
The Kestrel 3550FW fire weather meter is a compact, Bluetooth-enabled fire weather instrument designed for fire crew members who need reliable environmental data in a smaller, lighter package than the 5 Series meters. It measures wind speed, temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure — the core fire weather parameters — and wirelessly logs data via the Kestrel LiNK app.
The 3550FW is particularly suited to field crew members and spotters who need a compact, reliable fire weather instrument without the additional features of the 5500FW. Its waterproof and drop-resistant construction handles demanding fire ground conditions. Available from Hinco, Perth’s authorised Kestrel distributor.
