• Explain working operations of a thermal imager

• Identify the limitations of a thermal imager

• Explain the tactical applications of the thermal imager for operations on the fire ground; including, but not limited to; SIZE-UP, fire location, victim location, and flow path identification.

• Identify core elements of effective thermal imaging training 

• Share resources, drills, concepts with participants to enhance thermal imaging training
