See Through Smoke from Every Angle

PUBLIC SAFETY

Handheld & Aerial Thermal Imaging Cameras for Firefighting

In the heat of the battle, a thermal imaging camera (TIC) is indispensable. These vital tools help you see through smoke and monitor the fire’s spread, so you can quickly visualize your plan of attack, locate hot spots, and save lives. FLIR’s expanded lineup of TICs gives you the most comprehensive view of the scene—from inside, outside, and above the fire.

This is about more than seeing through a smoke-filled room: by viewing the entire scene from multiple viewpoints, incident commanders can make better decisions when directing resources. And, since FLIR TICs clearly visualize heat sources, they’re an important tool for hazmat and search and rescue operations.

GO ABOVE & BEYOND

GET A CLEAR VIEW

It’s all too easy for firefighters to lose their way, or each other, when surrounded by billowing black smoke. FLIR’s handheld TICs help clear the way and can even enhance the view with ultra-sharp detail for easier orientation.

GAIN A NEW VANTAGE POINT

A FLIR TIC mounted on aerial apparatus or a small drone provides a high-angle view of rooftops, upper stories, and tall structures. Drone-mounted cameras are also vital to search and rescue efforts.

INVEST IN RELIABILITY

FLIR designed our line of TICs to withstand the toughest firefighting conditions, whether it’s a two-meter drop, heavy water spray, or blazing hot temperatures.

SAFETY ON THE GROUND

Hand-held thermal imaging cameras help you attack fires more strategically, maneuver through smoke more easily, and save lives. And with a range of technologies and prices, it’s easier than ever for departments to afford to issue a TIC to every firefighter.

SEARCH & RESCUE

Time is of the essence whenever someone is stranded on a cold mountainside, in the thick of the woods, or the dark of night. Thermal imaging monoculars capture minute details from a distance and offer constant awareness in low-visibility environments, helping search and rescue personnel to quickly locate those in need.

EARLY WARNING SYSTEM

Drone-mounted TICs allow you to monitor the fire’s spread, detect fire intensity from a safe distance, spot temperature differences that point to hazardous agents, and even check liquid levels in tanker trucks.
