Handheld Thermal Imaging Cameras for Firefighting
In the heat of the battle, a thermal imaging camera (TIC) is indispensable. These vital tools help you see through smoke and monitor the fire's spread, so you can quickly visualize your plan of attack, locate hot spots, and save lives. This is about more than seeing through a smoke-filled room: viewing the entire scene helps incident commanders make better decisions when directing resources.
FLIR’s expanded lineup of TICs gives you the most comprehensive view of the scene—from inside, outside, and above the fire.
Key Benefits of FLIR TICs
Clear Imaging at High Temperatures: Enables firefighters to see through dense smoke.
Added Scene Details: FLIR FSX image enhancement allows you to see structural and textural details for improved awareness.
Durability for Harsh Environments: Built to endure extreme conditions, including high heat and heavy water spray.
Enhanced Tactile Design: Easy-grip, with large buttons for quick handling.

As a fire brigade we rely on a simple but powerful thermal imaging device. It has to be easy to use, light, robust and every firefighter has to be able to work with it without extensive training. That’s what our K53 does.

Fire Solutions
Safety on the Ground
Hand-held thermal imaging cameras help you attack fires more strategically, maneuver through smoke more easily, and save lives. And with a range of technologies and prices, it’s easier than ever for departments to afford to issue a TIC to every firefighter.
Search & Rescue
Time is of the essence whenever someone is stranded on a cold mountainside, in the thick of the woods, or the dark of night. Thermal imaging monoculars capture minute details from a distance and offer constant awareness in low-visibility environments, helping search and rescue personnel to quickly locate those in need.
Early Warning System
Drone-mounted TICs allow you to monitor the fire's spread, detect fire intensity from a safe distance, spot temperature differences that point to hazardous agents, and even check liquid levels in tanker trucks.
Rapid Response, Reliable Performance, Unmatched Awareness
The Teledyne FLIR SIRAS is tailored for firefighting missions with its high-resolution thermal and visible cameras, providing critical situational awareness. Its rugged design, hot-swappable batteries, and no geofencing ensure rapid deployment. The drone's ability to measure temperatures from the air enhances firefighting efficiency and safety. Future proof your fleet today with SIRAS.
GO ABOVE & BEYOND
GET A CLEAR VIEW
It's all too easy for firefighters to lose their way, or each other when surrounded by billowing black smoke. FLIR’s handheld TICs help clear the way and can even enhance the view with ultra-sharp detail for easier orientation.
GAIN A NEW VANTAGE POINT
A FLIR TIC mounted on a small drone provides high-angle views of rooftops, upper stories, and tall structures. Drone-mounted cameras are also vital to search and rescue efforts.
INVEST IN RELIABILITY
FLIR designed our line of TICs to withstand the toughest firefighting conditions, whether it’s a two-meter drop, heavy water spray, or blazing hot temperatures.
