Search and Rescue

We use thermal imaging cameras which enable Fire Fighters to quickly perform search and rescue.

Advanced thermal imaging technology allows Fire Fighters to see objects clearly through smoke and darkness. By looking through the camera, Fire Fighters can spot dangerous, unseen obstacles as well as detect the seat and spread of a fire…even when hidden inside the walls.

Most importantly, the thermal imaging camera assists in rescue operations, as seen through the cameras viewer under heavy smoke conditions.
