No Excuse for Firefighter Disorientation
Firefighters dedicate years to better understanding fire behavior. No matter the level of training, experience, or skill, firefighters still face circumstances beyond their control that can dramatically alter a fire’s behavior. With modern fires progressing faster than ever, unexpected changes on the interior can lead to dangerous moments of disorientation. Equipping each firefighter with a thermal imaging camera (TIC) could be the difference between getting into serious trouble and making it out alive.

Improving Automatic Emergency Braking with FLIR Thermal Imaging
Recent automatic emergency braking (AEB) tests from FLIR examined how adding a thermal sensor and fusing the data with a radar, a visible sensor, and a trained neural network can improve pedestrian detection from current AEB systems. Following positive proof-of-concept test results announced earlier this year, FLIR and VSI Labs returned to the American Center for Mobility and conducted positive detection AEB tests of VSI Labs’ Ford Fusion test vehicle and current AEB systems on the Tesla Model 3, Toyota Corolla, Subaru Forester, and BMW X7.

Combating California Wildfires from Above with the FLIR Star SAFIRE 380-HDc
Every year, wildfires in California present a huge threat to ecosystems, property, and human lives. Managing these wildfires is a difficult and dangerous task, especially because of the unpredictability of fires and the poor visibility caused by smoke. In recent decades, however, firefighters have the benefit of thermal imaging to help combat the flames. The Forest Service in Region 5 (California) has two Bell 209 (Cobra) helicopters equipped with FLIR thermal gimbals. This allows the flight crew to see through smoke, report real time fire progression, provide tactical IR capabilities to enhance ground resource’s’ situational awareness, and keep incident management apprised of critical holding issues.
