Do You Know C.L.U.E.S. for Your TIC??

5-Alarm Task Force!

Welcome our monthly installment of “MAKE DUE,” with Capt. Nick Peppard, Sean Duffy and our guest, Capt. Joe DeVito. In this episode, Capt. DeVito, with twenty years’ experience and, who has become an excellent instructor in the use of thermal imaging cameras (TIC’s), makes a strong point that TIC’s are not just for overhaul. As a matter of fact, your TIC is an invaluable tool for your size-up!
Capt. DeVito begins with a quick review of the key terminology regarding different TIC terms and capabilities. Not all TIC’s are created equal and it is imperative for you to know the “ins and outs” of YOUR camera! If you do not to learn to use it correctly and efficiently, it becomes nothing more than an expensive doorstop!
Capt. DeVito also explains the acronym he uses when conducting a size-up, C.L.U.E.S. At only five letters, it is an excellent guide for you to remember and make use of at every size-up. Mastering how your TIC works and using the C.L.U.E.S. acronym, might just save the life of a victim or, another firefighter!
