Charleston Paper Asks Chief Why Thermal Imaging Cameras Weren’t Used

You have to give it to The Post and Courier. How often do you see the mainstream press do detailed stories on ICS, booster lines, PPE, ISO, sprinkler systems and firefighting tactics?

Whether you like what they have reported or not, it is an impressive body of work. Ron Menchaca, Glenn Smith, and the others who have worked on these reports, have delved into some touchy, but important subjects that fire departments all over have dealt with at one time or another. I hope they will turn this into a book.

The latest installment is about thermal imaging cameras and why they apparently weren’t used at the Sofa Super Store fire. You can read it here.
