Thermal imaging limitations
Fire Engineering/YouTube

The thermal imaging camera (TIC) is an immensely useful tool for firefighters, however it does have its limitations. Some of these include a lack of peripheral vision, depth perception, and contrast when everything and everyone is the same temperature. In this episode, Bill Gustin, Sam Hittle, Darryl Liggins, Clark Lamping, and Bobby Halton examine how to overcome some of those limitations. They also reflect on the upcoming 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks on America.
