[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
The best method to improve visibility is:
Proper ventilation
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
A secondary method for improving visibility is:
The use of a TIC
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
What temperature does the TIC base the viewer shading off of?
The average temperature in the room
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
The TIC does not see through materials, but instead reads the:
Surface temperature
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
A TIC is only as good as its:
Battery
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
A fully charged Bullard T3 battery should last how long?
2 1/2 hours
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
How many life cycles do TIC batteries have?
Around 1,000
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
How often should the TIC battery be discharged?
Once a month
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
A good time to discharge the TIC battery would be during the monthly:
Hose and nozzle inventory
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
The TIC should be checked for operation when?
During weekly equipment checks and after each use
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
TIC equipped companies shall bring the TIC to the scene of any incident that has either of these (2):
- An IDLH or low visibility atmosphere
- Where a victim is reported trapped or missing

RIC
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
What are (4) of the TICs limitations?
- Cannot see through water
- The infrared technology can be reflected
- Heat signature may stay even after the object is gone
- Limited battery life
[B302.1 Use of Thermal Imaging Camera]
The firefighter assigned to use the TIC is considered the:
