SUMMARY: Maran County has introduced new thermal imaging cameras to enhance firefighting efforts. These devices, resembling smartphones, utilize infrared technology to detect temperature variations, helping firefighters locate people and objects in low visibility situations. Each fire engine will be equipped with one of these cameras, which aids in identifying hot spots, preventing disorientation, and improving overall safety during operations. Training was recently conducted for 21 firefighters, who successfully used the cameras to extinguish a fire from a dryer lint build-up. The cameras cost around $500 to $600 each, funded by community donations, as the volunteer departments require affordable equipment.
