Thermal Imaging Camera Usage & Size-Up!
Check out our demonstration of the power of an investigative mode.
Firefighters who understand these additional features such as Electronic Thermal Throttle from Bullard, can quickly identify superheated areas that are colorized for ease of threat identification.
In this video, we demonstrate how this feature works and the contraindications of this feature.
To learn more, see our six steps of success video on YouTube:

Firefighters, Do you want to enhance fireground size-up effectiveness?
Check this out!
During a live structure-fire training exercise, Survey Mode enabled the Incident Commander to identify heat signatures indicating fire spread in a balloon-frame building.
Even at significant distances, Mixed Gain Mode highlights a single pixel within its range at 65°C/150°F, coloring it to inform decisions.
This technology is a true gamechanger for firefighters, incident commanders, and safety officers.
Special thanks to Max Fire Training for providing this video!
