MSA has put a thermal imaging camera (TIC) in its G1 SCBA creating ts G1 (iTIC)
The unit, which was previewed last year, earned National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) approval in February and was available for distribution at this year’s show.
The unit is built into the SCBAs pressure monitor with a camera on the end and a screen that can be easily viewed is located in the middle of the monitor, easily seen through the face piece.
Incorporating TIC technology directly into the SCBA provides multiple advantages, such as an auto-on feature that activates the camera once the SCBA is pressurized. Additionally, the TIC is driven by the G1 SCBA’s single integrated power source, which eliminates the need for additional batteries.
