The Kakamigahara Fire Department recently conducted their own Flir TIC training seminar to address challenges of visibility and situational awareness. "Operating in an environment where you can’t see what’s happening is one of the most stressful situations for firefighters. Being able to understand the situation and make informed decisions helps reduce that stress and gives us greater confidence when responding." Akihiro Banno Chief Firefighter Kakamigahara City Fire Department. "Large-scale fires may not occur frequently, but thermal imaging cameras are essential for our operations. They are valuable not only at fire scenes, but also during rescue operations. Their durability and resistance to impact were key reasons why we chose Flir."
