Did you know that all Manchester Fire Department’s vehicles are equipped with cutting-edge Thermal Imaging Cameras (TICs), transforming how we respond to emergencies? In firefighting and public safety, every second matters.
Why are TICs game-changers?
These innovative devices empower our first responders to see through smoke, darkness, and heat, allowing them to:
- Enhance Safety for Firefighters: Identify hidden dangers to minimize risks during a response.
- Boost Visibility: Reveal what the naked eye can’t see, even in zero visibility conditions.
- Locate Victims Rapidly: Swiftly find trapped individuals, ensuring timely rescue and saving lives.
- Gain Fire Behavior Insights: Understand the intensity and spread to make informed, life-saving decisions.
From locating victims in structure fires to finding lost individuals in the woods and assessing situations at hazardous materials incidents, TICs are essential tools for modern firefighting.
We’re proud to utilize these advanced technologies to keep our community safe!
