    The document proposes replacing aging thermal imaging cameras (TICs) with newer models to outfit all firefighters. It recommends purchasing 3 demo ISG X380 cameras for $13,500 and 7 Flir K2 TICs for $7,000, replacing old Bullard cameras. This would achieve the goal of updating frontline cameras and providing each firefighter a TIC for safer operations at a total cost of $20,500, nearly 50% less than normal prices. The proposal aims to enhance safety by ensuring all firefighters have access to thermal imaging in various operational scenarios.

    Thermal Imaging Camera Proposal

    Goal- To replace the remaining aging front line Thermal Imaging


    Cameras (TIC) and outfit all working members with a TIC for a
    safe and effective operational scenario.
    Current Equipment
    • 4 ISG X380N
    • Purchased April 2014 for $44,440
    • Replaced Bullard T1 TIC purchased in 1998-1999 (Taken OOS in 2011-12)
    • Currently on Front Line Engines Only

    • 2 Bullard T3 TIC
    • Purchased in 2008 approx around $13k each
    • Old Technology by current standards and use
    • Currently on Tower Ladder and Rescue/ FAST Operations

    • Bullard Eclipse
    • Originally Purchased for Training Bureau
    • Moved to Shift Commander vehicle to add camera to operations
    Proposed Equipment
    • 3 Additional ISG X380 $4500 each
    • These are Demo Cameras being sold at a reduced cost
    with warranty and updates
    • Regular price $10-11K

    • 7 New Flir K2 TIC’s $1000 each**


    • These cameras are newer technology and more
    affordable primarily made for personal use to be aware
    of thermal conditions /environment
    • Regular price $1295
    Proposed Equipment Deployment
    • Update all first due apparatus to the higher grade and quality ISG X380 and move the Bullard T3’s to a
    reduced use position for the remainder of its in service lifetime. To be used by the rider/officer on each rig .

    • ISG X380- Engines 11,13,14,15

    • Tower Ladder and Rescue Truck

    • Shift Commanders Vehicle

    • Flir K2 - For members in driving and additional riding positions. Cameras would be issued to members at the
    beginning of the shift.

    • HQ - 3 Sta 3- 2 Sta 4- 1 Sta 5- 1

    • Bullard T3 – Moved to backup / second due engines. Also to be used as spares and for callback situations

    3211 RD FLIR 3216 Bullard T3 3215 RD FLIR

    3252 FAST ISG X380 3245 Bullard Eclipes

    3246 DR FLIR 3217 Bullard T3

    3246 RD ISG X 380

    3267 ISG X380


    Factors to consider
    • The Bullard T3 cameras are essentially not worth repairing as the cameras
    are worth less than the repairs cost .Parts and Technology are basically
    obsolete

    • The cost of the Flir K2 TIC is an old price for buying a total of 7 cameras that
    they will honor. On Jan 1 2017 the cost will go up to about to about $1295
    which is the current retail price.

    • The loss of an average of 1.5 firefighters lost in the new staffing will put our
    members in even more situations operating alone.

    • On a FAST team response we will be able to have all members have a TIC to
    assist in rescue operations if need be.
    Factors to consider

    • The higher grade TIC’s have a lifespan of no more than 8-10 years.

    • Loss of more experienced members put younger members in positions that


    would be more operationally effective and safe when equipped with TIC.

    • The reduced price of the demo cameras is a savings over purchasing


    regular priced cameras.

    • The opportunity rarely comes up and would allow use to get to an


    advantageous TIC operational standpoint for a price point that would
    normally only allow to replace 2 of the higher grade cameras. For that
    same price we would be able to outfit all the members working via 3
    higher grade and 7 personal TIC’s.
    Factors to consider

    Purchase 3 ISG X380 Demos for $13,500


    Purchase 7 Flir K2 TIC for $7,000
    Will achieve:

    outfit all working members with a TIC for a safe and effective operational scenario.

    For a Total Cost of $20,500
