Repost from @lafdists . The LAFD and the City of Los Angeles just became a little safer. Through the collaboration and support of the Fire Foundation, we were able to purchase 237 FLIR K65 Thermal Imaging Cameras. These cameras will enhance firefighter safety, improve search and rescue operations, and increase our effectiveness on the fireground. Thank you to everyone who contributed their efforts in training and helped make this program a reality. #trainasifyourlifedependsonitbecauseitdoes #laf
