The benefits of using thermal imaging technology as a firefighting tool encompass
nearly every aspect of a firefighter’s job. Thermal imaging is not, however, a
technology designed to replace current firefighting tactics. Rather, it is a tool that
allows the firefighter to be more effective and make better decisions. Some of the
many uses for your Bullard NXT Thermal Imager include:
• Search and rescue
• Scene assessment
• Locating the seat of the fire
• Determining the spread of the fire
• Locating hot spots
• Identifying potential flashover situations
• Determining ventilation points
• Determining entry and exit points
• Overhaul
• Hazmat
• Wildland firefighting
• Incident investigation
• Training
� WARNING
Read all instructions and warnings before using this product.
Your thermal imager is like any other tool. It must be used properly and safely.
All users should be trained on the proper and safe use of thermal imaging
prior to using the Bullard NXT Thermal Imager. This is especially important
for users who may use this product in hazardous or IDLH (Immediately
Dangerous to Life and Health) environments.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS INFORMATION COULD RESULT IN DEATH OR
SERIOUS INJURY.
