Thermal Imaging (NEW)
South Strabane Fire Department has (2) two Thermal Imaging Cameras that are in service. These units allow the firefighters to see through smoke filled structures to locate heat sources or trapped victims. The department took delivery of (2) two ISG K-1000 camera’s on 02/06/2009 and have put them into service.
Notebooks
The department is currently using Laptops in their apparatus to have QRP’s (quick response plans) available to them when responding to an emergency. These computer’s allow firefighters to gain knowledge on subjects such as: location of any hazards, power disconnects, heating units, or any people needing assistance due to any medical problems or disabilities.
