The Sullivan Fire Protection District is proud to announce that we were awarded a grant from the Fire Fighters Association of Missouri (FFAM) to assist with the purchase of a new thermal imaging camera. Thermal imaging cameras are an invaluable tool during search and rescue operations, helping firefighters locate victims who may be down or otherwise difficult to see inside a structure fire. Even in heavy, blackened smoke conditions, the thermal camera can provide firefighters with a visual image of heat sources and help guide them during critical operations. This new camera will be placed on Ladder 8812 for use by the backstep firefighter, providing another important tool to help keep our firefighters and community members safe. We would like to sincerely thank FFAM for their generous support and commitment to Missouri firefighters. Grants like this help fire departments obtain the equipment they need to provide better service and greater protection to the communities they serve.
