Thermal imaging can be a misunderstood discipline. It is of immense value in functional mitigation, but is accompanied by inherent dangers. These dangers are most often associated with misinterpreting the display and deficient appreciation for the camera’s intrinsic limitations. This class evaluates the benefits afforded to the common fireground functions by imaging alongside the pitfalls of each that can lend themselves to an unsuccessful operation or risks to the company’s safety.
