firefighters have been committed to studying the characteristics of fires for many years, no matter how high the level of training, experience or skills is, firefighters will still encounter fire situations beyond their own control ability, which will make great changes in the development of the fire. With the rapid spread of modern fires, unexpected changes inside the building are likely to cause firefighters to lose their way. Of course, if every firefighter can be equipped with an infrared thermal imaging camera (TIC), the situation of "being in danger" is likely to be reversed as a "successful escape".
the fire raged, the risk factor of disorientation soared.
due to the extensive use of synthetic materials in modern buildings, furniture and electrical appliances, the fire situation in buildings has changed greatly. In addition to rapid flash combustion, UL Fire Safety Research Institute also confirmed in 2007 that compared with natural materials, synthetic materials will produce more toxic gases when burned. The black smoke generated by fires in buildings today not only causes trapped people and firefighters to inhale more suffocates, irritants and carcinogens, but also greatly reduces visibility.
synthetic materials and open floor layout will greatly accelerate the flash speed of today's fires.
Visibility is crucial during escape. WilliamR.Mora, Minister of SanAntonio Fire Department, conducted a firefighter disorientation survey. From 1979 to 2001, 23 firefighters were killed in 17 fire rescues. In each rescue under investigation, firefighters used the indoor rescue method of raging, groping for more than 15 minutes under the condition of smoke with zero visibility. As the situation worsens, firefighters may be separated or confused until they go in the wrong direction. Once the formation is destroyed, firefighters will face out of control and life risks. Oxygen depletion, falling objects, and sudden flashes or resurgence can all pose a huge threat to firefighters who are going in the wrong direction.
when evacuating the fire scene becomes a top priority, infrared cameras may become the only reliance.
.
infrared cameras can penetrate dense fog, thus quickly locking victims and other firefighters.
case study: Xiaofei classroom, with the help of FLIR decision-assisted thermal imager, for modern fire rescue "grab" time......
modern technology, infrared thermal imager penetrates thick smoke
fire department is increasingly using infrared thermal imaging technology in various complex applications. Quickly identify fallen trapped people at search and rescue sites and make wise strategic decisions,
thermal imaging cameras has helped firefighters improve efficiency and save more lives.
. Among the many advanced uses of thermal imaging cameras, its simplest and most important advantage is---
it can penetrate thick smoke
. After turning on the power, the infrared camera will immediately open a window that can penetrate the smoke to help the firefighters in the room see various signs, lines and team members. Just press the button to see the hand-held spray pipes scattered on the ground, as well as the SCBA gas tank, and can help quickly restore formation, thus making extremely dangerous situations controllable at once.

"equip every firefighter with infrared cameras"
now,
become a reality to equip every firefighter with an infrared camera.
in the past, it was unrealistic to equip every firefighter with an infrared camera. The price of the equipment is very high, and the fire department is lucky to have a thermal imager, let alone a complete set. In addition to cost, the early infrared cameras were very heavy and not suitable for long-term indoor carrying. Fortunately, the innovation of infrared imaging technology has brought about a cost-effective infrared thermal imager. Lightweight thermal imager, e.g.
FLIRK2
, it is designed to make it easy for anyone in the fire department to use thermal imaging technology. Although high-performance infrared cameras are still needed to assist strategic decision-making
FLIRK2 's durability and infrared imaging function can equip every firefighter with reliable infrared imaging equipment.
fire department makes every effort to provide every firefighter with tools and protective clothing that can improve work safety and efficiency. For example, like the application of infrared imaging, the new SCBA and personal protective equipment (
PPE
) innovation also helped indoor firefighters save countless lives. No gloves or boots would be shared among firefighters, nor would it be possible to take turns using the same SCBA mask. These equipment are indispensable and life-related, but when evacuation is the only option, it cannot guarantee universal protection. Today's fires are likely to cause firefighters to lose their way, so the field of view under zero visibility is no longer an optional option,
is the time to equip every firefighter with an infrared camera.
