Thermal Imaging Cameras
From MEFD
Uses
Thermal Imaging Cameras (TICs) are used for a number of operations:
- Finding heat within walls and structures
- Finding hot spots on wild fire during mop up
- Performing an oriented search within a fire
- Structure fire overhaul
- Finding people trapped in a fire, in a building, and outdoors
MEFD uses two types of TICs
TICs integrated into our MSA G1 SCBA. Each engine has three airpacks with a TIC. See SCBA
