New technology is helping crews in Reno and Sedgwick county battle the many fires we have seen this week. The Wichita Fire Department is using their drone to help battle these fires, but Thermal Imaging Cameras help the Wichita Fire Department battle fires from the ground. “We use it all the time almost on every fire,” said Lance Gifford, a firefighter with Station One. Gifford said they have been using thermal imaging for more than a decade, but as technology advances so has the equipment. Now, these cameras are handheld making it easier on firefighters. “This is so much better clarity-wise resolution,” said Gifford.
