A TIC can be used to quickly determine the size and magnitude of the spill, how much liquid remains in a container, and a more precise location on the ground and the extent of its spread. TICs also help firefighters avoid being killed or injured while operating around wildland firefighting apparatus (e.g., dozers or tenders) in smoky conditions. Individual firefighters equipped with a TIC can rapidly and accurately identify hot spots and monitor a fire’s progress. Wildland fires continue to grow in both frequency and severity every year, and TICs have proven invaluable for more quickly sizing up a fire (from the ground and aloft). Searchers can cover more ground more quickly and potentially locate the victim sooner, thereby increasing their survivability. And that means better situational awareness which is vital for more safe, effective, and efficient emergency operations. With more firefighters coming off their fire apparatus with a TIC, they can get a complete view of the fire scene through smoke or in total darkness. MORE THAN JUST FOR FIREFIGHTINGĪs TICs have come to enjoy more widespread availability to firefighters and officers, their use has expanded well beyond the fire scene and TICs are being used in a variety of emergency situations that include, but not limited to, the following: Today, the TIC has taken its rightful place in a firefighter’s “protective gear package” alongside PPE and SCBA with built-in PASS technology. For most fire departments, the TIC is no longer a piece of “specialty equipment” with a fire department perhaps only having a couple of TICs that were typically carried in a chief officer’s vehicle. The Seattle Fire Department acquired its first thermal imaging camera in 1997, for a cost of $16,000 (My own fire department, the Chesterfield (Va.) Fire and EMS Department bought its first TIC around the same time for $25,000!).įast forward to the present day and TICs had shrunk dramatically in both size and weight, and in cost. Thermal imaging technology, in the form of the thermal imaging camera (TIC) first began appearing on fire apparatus in 1990’s.

Having access to the appropriate technological support to enable them to work Needs and challenges of today’s first responders highlighting the importance of The Workshop aims to enhance theĭialogues on how evolving technologies can enhance emergency responses, improvingĪnd ensuring the safety of first responders. International Workshop on the “Tools for the First Responder of theįuture” will take place in a hybrid mode. One day before the FSX, on the 24 th of May, the INGENIOUS 1 st Paris, supporting the exercise sessions with their first response teams and Hosted by our partner APHP-SAMU at their training facilities in Villejust near The 1st FSX and the results that will be conducted will provide significant feedback and create new knowledge that will enhance the work of the partners for the development of the 3 rd Prototype of the NGIT which will be the final solutions. The 2 nd Prototype of the INGENIOUS Toolkit will be tested and evaluated by both technologists and practitioners who will be in close collaboration in order to further improve the provided solutions. The integration of the different tools and components as well as the functionalities and the capabilities they offer to the First Responders will be demonstrated by the INGENIOUS partners. destroyed/collapsed buildings, comms failure etc.
