This is an overview YouTube video (below) showing the application of Infrared Thermal Imaging in Fire fighting. It was a presentation held during the 102nd New York State Association of Fire Chiefs Annual Convention and Expo.

Please note, too, the need for continued training recommended by experienced fire fighters.

Very few fire companies in the USA are today without such devices.

Thermal imaging is one of the most exciting new technologies to emerge for the fire service in decades. Infrared technology offers a new vision of the fire scene, allowing fire fighters to see through smoke to locate the seat of the fire and to quickly locate hazardous hotspots.
