Thermal imaging can be a misunderstood discipline. It is of immense value in functional mitigation, but is accompanied by inherent dangers. These dangers are most often associated with misinterpreting the display and deficient appreciation for the camera’s intrinsic limitations. This class evaluates the benefits afforded to the common fire-ground functions by imaging alongside the pitfalls of each that can lend themselves to an unsuccessful operation or risks to the company’s safety. This course will help the Firefighter understand the full use and limitations that are associated with a thermal imaging camera. By the end of class, the Fire Fighter will have gained knowledge about the different modes each TIC has and how to best use the TIC in every situation where a TIC is needed.

Course Objectives: Efficiently use and maintain thermal imaging camera (TIC) Differentiate between passive, active and direct emitters using TIC, Identify when to, and when not to use a TIC, Perform both camera and hybrid searches.
