What Is It?
The Model 955L RedHawk™ Thermal Scanner is a non‑imaging thermal detection device used to locate concealed heat sources during fire suppression, overhaul, and inspection operations. Unlike thermal imaging cameras, it does not display an image; instead, it alerts firefighters to heat through highly sensitive detection technology and audible feedback.
How Is It Used?
Held like a flashlight, the 955L is swept across walls, ceilings, floors, and debris during overhaul or investigation. When elevated temperatures are detected, the scanner emits an audible alarm that increases in pitch as the device moves closer to the hot spot, allowing firefighters to locate heat without diverting attention from their surroundings.
Who Uses It?
- Structural fire departments
- Fire investigation units
- Overhaul and mop‑up crews
- Wildland–urban interface teams
- Training facilities for fire behavior analysis
