More Details (Additional information about this course)

Step 1: Introduction (3 hours)
This course meets the following objectives: Explain the value and importance of thermal data to victims, their property, and to firefighters. Explain the difference between the two main fire service thermal imaging cameras in use today and their proper application. Explain the five key attributes of thermal imaging. Properly interpret a thermal image based on a given environment. Understand the limitations, contraindications, and how to overcome them in regard to thermal imaging use in the fire service.

Step 2: Go/No Go Decision Making (3 hours)
An Evidence Based Model for Fire Attack. This thermal diagnostic model is designed to reduce thermal insult to the victim, to their property, prevent rapid fire development, and prevent thermal insult to the firefighter through proper interpretation of the environment.

Step 3: The Tactical 360-Enhancing Fireground Strategies & Tactics
This is an in-depth look at the size-up process and how it can be enhanced by thermography based concepts.

Step 4: Enhanced Stream Placement (2.5 hours)
This course focuses on making our fire suppression efforts more effective and efficient.

Step 5: Enhanced Search Methodology
Tactical Thermal Imaging Concepts allow firefighters to make the rescue up to 70% faster and cut search times by 50%. This course enhances fundamental concepts of search by applying thermal imaging concepts to their efforts.
