Thermal imaging cameras (TICs) are essential technological aids that enhance firefighter safety. By rendering infrared radiation (IR) as visible light, TICs enable firefighters to identify areas of heat through smoke and darkness. This capability helps firefighters locate fires in structures and search for victims, among other uses.
In a FireRescue1 reader poll, 31% of respondents selected thermal imagers as the fire service equivalent to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin’s moon landing “giant leap” of 1969.
And the technology is only continuing to improve.
This FireRescue1 guide provides essential information on what fire departments need to consider when evaluating TICs and determining how to integrate this invaluable technology into their equipment cache.
