We are thrilled to announce that the Tenmile Fire Department has successfully acquired brand-new Seek AttackPRO+ Thermal Imaging Cameras through a strategic amendment to our existing Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG). These cutting-edge cameras are poised to revolutionize our firefighting capabilities and enhance safety for our community.

What Are the Seek AttackPRO+ Thermal Imaging Cameras?

The Seek AttackPRO+ cameras are robust, high-resolution thermal imaging devices designed specifically for firefighting. Here’s what makes them stand out:

• Superior Image Performance: These cameras deliver crystal-clear images, allowing firefighters to swiftly identify hotspots, locate victims, and assess fire scenes with precision.
• Built to Last: Withstand drops, extreme temperatures, and the rigors of firefighting environments.
• Mixed Gain Mode: Allows simultaneous viewing of both hottest and coolest regions without switching modes, simplifying and improving thermal imaging.
• NFPA 1801-2021 Certified: Complies with the latest safety standards.

How Will These Cameras Benefit Our Department?

1. Enhanced Situational Awareness: The Seek AttackPRO+ cameras provide real-time thermal views, enabling firefighters to navigate smoke-filled environments, detect hidden fires, and assess structural integrity.
2. Search and Rescue: During primary searches, these cameras will help locate victims more efficiently, potentially saving lives.
3. Fire Attack Optimization: Firefighters can see the fire and crew clearly, aiding in decision-making and ensuring effective firefighting strategies.
4. Safety and Risk Reduction: By identifying hazards early, we can minimize risks to our personnel and the community.
5. Community Protection: Swift and accurate response translates to better protection for our neighbors and property.

Cost and Funding

The Seek AttackPRO+ cameras represent an investment of over $7000, which was made possible by repurposing leftover funds from our original AFG grant. Our Chief’s proactive approach allowed us to redirect resources toward this critical equipment.

What’s Next?

We  will promptly integrate these into our operations as we offer training sessions for our firefighters to ensure optimal utilization.

Thank you to our Chief, the AFG program, and our dedicated team for making this acquisition possible. Together, we’re advancing safety and excellence in firefighting!

Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to serve and protect the Tenmile community. 🚒🔥 Thank you for your continued support!
