## Resource

Sedgwick County Fire District One is upgrading to cutting-edge thermal imaging cameras—approved unanimously by county commissioners—to revolutionize firefighting safety and efficiency. These new cameras, mounted on fire engines and battalion trucks, detect heat signatures through infrared technology, letting crews see through smoke, locate victims faster, and pinpoint fire origins with precision. They’re also vital in car crashes and missing person searches. After eight to ten years of service, the old units are being retired, making way for life-saving tech that puts firefighters—and the public—first.
