  • Time matters when you’re trying to rescue someone trapped in a burning home…it can be a matter of life or death for a victim
  • The thermal imaging cameras allow firefighters to “see” through smoke to identify victims—versus blindly using hand sweeps to feel their way through a smoke-filled building.
  • Thermal imaging cameras also help firefighters find fire between walls or in hidden spaces. Quickly finding a fire means faster extinguishing and less potential damage and most importantly the loss of life.
What firefighters can see with a new camera!
